    JDM rear view mirror upgrade

    got you!

    sorry for the crapy cell phone pics but when i was in the junkyard and i found that 1st gen legend rear view mirrors fit our cars...and they are a lil bit wider and taller so you get a better view

    stock 3gee mirror

    after swap


    its a nice 7 buck upgrade from the junkyard...i liked it so much both my cars have them

    I just got rid of the overhead one and put up a glass mount mirror. I had found one in someones trash years ago, mirror was broken spent forever finding mirror glass to fix it, it has the lights on the bottom side of it.

    Re: JDM rear view mirror upgrade

    Jesse, can you post a pic of both mirrors bottom to bottom (basically side to side) so we can see the size differences better?

    I like it. Great find.
