Parked my car overnight in Northbridge and someone had broken my passenger side mirror. Obviously someone kicked it coz it had scuff marks and the mirror was on the pavement side. Freakin drunkards... Here's a picture:
Rang up Honda North to get an OEM replacement, and they quoted me $445 just for the passenger side mirror!!... Time to get Spoon carbon fibre replica power mirrors...
Step 1: Remove the following screws..

Step 9: Using 3 screws, fit the Spoon mirror onto car, following Steps 3,2,1, put everything back in place. You're done! Here's the end product
This is a power mirror which came with the necessary wiring but doesnt have a proper manual for the electrics. I have decided to leave it as it is, but at least i know i've still got the option to connect it to my OEM side mirror switch.
Review: Perfect fitment! The mirror looks great and weighs really light too! However, the housing for the mirror is facing down just that wincy bit. Thus, i can barely see above the ground even after I push the mirror as far up as i can! Any fellow Spoon mirror users facing the same problem? Please lemme know!
