M3 mirrors..

Okay, i checked to see if 96-97 accord mirrors fit our car and found out they do not fit. I measured the dimensions of our mirrors and they are:

Hypotenuse side = 8"
Horizontal side = 5.5"
Vertical side = 5"

If anybody here has m3 mirrors on his/her 1st gen TL, please let me know how you got them. I know that infamous yellow TL has it but i can't get a hold of him.

Yes, i know some of you think m3 mirrors are too sporty looking for our car and isn't your taste... i like it! with power mirrors and blinkers (maybe)

The size of the mirror doesnt matter. Measure the triangle part where it sits against the door. Thats the important part.

Oh. Sorry. I read it at work and should have read it more carefully. Hmm, how does that yellow TL have them? Maybe the 3 screw holes that hold the mirror on are the same but the triangle part is different. Is it bigger or smaller than ours? If the Accord one is bigger maybe he had the triangle trimmed at a body shop.
