Has anyone put the Accord M3style mirrors on their CL's. Been looking at a couple of options including:

I've seen these M3 mirrors on two different CLs before. They fit up with no problems.
But keep in mind, you will lose the heater option. None of those aftermarket mirror come with that option.........none that I have ever seen.

The guy on this site has the M3 mirrors installed. CL-Z is right, they fit fine, but you lose the heater option. Anyway, check it out... this should give you an idea of how it will look on your car...

Yeah that's CLDriver's car. I think they look pretty good. Too bad you lose the heaters, although I think I used mine maybe 3 times since I got the car to make sure they worked!

Just an FYI for SOHCer...
I used the M3 mirrors for a 94-97 Accord. They are not a direct fit. You can bring it to a body shop to do the cutting/drilling or you can do it yourself. But you will need to modify them to fit the CL.
One other thing you lose is field of view, the mirrors are smaller than the stock ones and it takes a little getting used to as you see a bit less.

I didnt realize they made that dramatic of an angle with the body (i.e. not parallel to the ground). May have to warm up to the way it looks before taking on this one.

Hey CLDriver, what's up? I don't think I've seen you around since the days on Honda-Acura.net!! I still had your link bookmarked in my browser, so I hope you don't mind that I posted it on this topic. Anyway, welcome back!!

Yeah, I haven't been spending much time on this stuff lately(ie work). I lurk around once in a while here. As you can tell, my website hasn't been updated in ages, still get visits & guestbook entries once in a while. I really should update it to add a link to this forum.
Congrats on your new car, the TL is a nice car as is, but a TL-S is even better!
