Finally Got It Done!!

Hey guys i finally got my M3 Mirrors put on. Some of you guys didnt know what you were talking about when you told me that the 98-02 Accord Mirrors wouldnt work but you were wrong. I took it to a shop and they had to do very little modifications and only charged me $50. THey did a damn good job too! Hope to get some pics of the ride sometime soon. Also have the splitters being put on soon. Im in Lynchburg VA right now in college. I guess stuff is cheaper to do down here cuz it a bunch of laid back country folk. HAHAHA JK

There have been others here that have done this. They stated there were modifications to be done.

Congrats!

I've also read threads where folks were able to mount the mirrors with slight modifications.

Any pics?

Yes, PICS PLEASE!

I was one of the ones who used 94-97 accord mirrors. But if the 98-02 are easier to put on, great!

they only thing you need to modify on the m3 mirrors for the accord is the plate that you skrew into. i talked to ross before and thats what he told me that worked with pimpincl's so the plate that you skrew into you need to make new holes
