1. blind spots also but i purchased the blind spot mirrors 3 days after purchasing the vehicle so thats not an issue anymore.

2. not feeling the take off AT ALL on the I-4's. I NEED TORQUE![:@]
1. Are the blind sport mirrors from Honda or what? My mirrors don't "click" into place anymore, they just swivel freely, which sucks when a gust of wind blows your mirrors in... I'm looking to get either M3 mirrors with the LEDs.

2. You need to go drive some other I4s out there... the F23 is torqy as *****! Specially the manual.



Velocifero, I think he's referring to the 01-02 tails when they moves the signals and back up lights to the bottom instead of the top of the light.

Thats funny because everytime I see them on the road, I always debate to myself which style I like better. After doing this for some time, I think I prefer the first style with the turn signals up top. It looks more like the Euro R, Type R style of tails. Maybe its me, but it seems there less red lights too. I dunno maybe my OCD just prefers the turn signals to be above the brake lights or somethin. I also think I prefer the early style front end too with the one bar in the grill and lower bumper. This is from a 5th gen perspective.

There not honda,i bought them at discount auto parts for like 3 dollars.its a circlular looking one...maybe this picture will help:

(of course you don't need to order these,just go to any autozone or discount autoparts and you'll find them. and i believe with them they give you a warranty or whatever, which is weird i don't know what can go wrong with mirrors that would require you needing the warranty but hey i'm not complaining.)

trust me with these mirrors you can seeall around the side..seriously if you hit someone with these equipped on your car,you don't deserve to be on the streets.not to offend anyone.

and yeah the F series do have torque but i want more lmao.

the 01-02 tailights remind me of the JDM look actually...i don't know. i am the same way when i see them and i think its a tiebut i'm more on the wannabe JDM look(red on top,white on the bottom)

and i like the coupe backs ONLY if it has a spoiler, because without a spoiler it just bothers me. whenever i see coupe's with no spoiler, i feel like something is missing when i look

Seeing those mirrors makes me want to kill the driver. I'd rather strain myself to double check over the shoulder before putting those on my car.

i'm telling you guys, just get those wide angle rearview mirrors,you know those rectangular ones from import shops? well around here we call them broadway mirrors, cuz the brand. but i found a one at target for 5 dollars less =)

oh and to solve that "air coming through vents" problem, just press the recycle air button, the air flow from outside stops ..

and yes the 01-02 tailights own! and i heard the ppl who have the previous years, wanted to changed them to the 01-02 but cant, cuz there a lil bigger, and they need a whole trunk conversion..so idk..

I don't really like either of them and I don't like the TYC tails j_man has, but he did them right and they look sexy.

On another note, manual owners, do you have trouble shifting into first gear at all? Sometimes mine won't go into first or will only go half way. If I'm stopped I'll have to give it some gas to slip it in to first. Also, do you have to be going like 3 mph and under to shift into first? I do...
