I know my post will have no value whatsoever to this thread, but if those things aren't the biggest eye sore I've ever seen inside the TL then I don't know what is. Never once was I in a driving situation where I felt I needed a larger rear view mirror. Ahh well I'm sure you guys have your reasons.
+5 lmaoooo....no offense but i had no idea these long rearview mirrors were in style til this day. With the oem one i can still see the whole rear.

No sirs, the side mirrors I swapped are on my S2000, on the Tl, I think you can just replace the entire glass assembly (actually, I'm sure...contact Bruce Ack05TL).
Took a better one yesterday
Majofo, you're right man...honestly, if I hadn't had it on my RSX and gotten VERY used to convex, I might agree that it's not necessary...but once you go pink, you never stink or whatever. When I got the S2000 with it's regular mirror, if felt like I was looking out the back of my car with blinders on, in addition...when sitting at a light with the top down in the S...I felt very vulnerable to anyone being able to come up on me out of my line of sight. This solves that problem...even with peripheral I can see any movement around my car at all times.
In this picture, I'll admit, it doesn't look like a good fit, but I promise in person, the exposed part of the oem mirror is not obvious.

Anyone epoxy-fixy these mirrors direct to stock mirror? Might make for a better look, good place to gut and hide a radar detector too. Gunna need to be a skinny detector though, or completely gutted chopped and screwed.

It's not for style.. it looks fucking hideous.
It's not like some dumbass with a single pot caliper pasting a brembo cover over.
It's for extra visibility.

My 280mm one just came in two days ago, and it doesn't seem to look that good:
I don't find it to add that much more visibility, probably because I got use to the stock mirror by the time I got it.

Lol, you know how to work around things, this mirror turns out not being my cup of tea for my TL-S but thanks for your help.
