Vision / Spoon Carbon fibre Mirrors install on a Integra
http://www.ozhonda.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=2/1021P1030744.JPG
Motivation / Description
well i love Carbon fibre hehe and they look great very nice mirror, its wider than standard and has a stylish blue tinge to it. The vision ones are cheaper than the spoon official mirror but vision make for spoon so the quality is top notch
these mirrors are not for everyone i personally love the look, i did weigh them 400grams compared to 960 grams for the standard so not much all counts though.
when you install these you loose the motorised function of the standard mirrors and have to adjust with your hand. i dont see this as a big problem casue how often do you adjust your mirrors ?
Installation ( pics)
Installation is fair easy just need
Phillips head Screwdriver
10mm spanner / socket
1. First off start by removing the Door trim you can sort of skip this part, would be a bit harder and more fiddly so i decided to take the trim off. There are 2 metal screws one in bottom of the door handle and ones behind the unlock door leaver, there is also a plastic lug i have circled them in red remove all these la

2. Once you have undone the screws pull from the bottom there are some clips holding it on, but just pull and it will umm come off hehe, onece off you will see the triangle cover behind the mirror this is also just held on with clips give it a tug and it will pop off...

4. The mirror still wont come off yet, you need to push the two tabs on the power windows plug into be able to remove the mirror, just use something to push them in, then remove mirror and put nuts back on the end of the screws so you dont loose them.
