Honda Civic SI with M3 style Mirrors

Installing M3 style mirrors is one of those neat projects that can really add some spice to the look of your Honda CivicSI without taking up too much of your time. The total install time for a pair of M3 style mirrors should be less than two hours.  

The Honda CivicSi is a sport compact / hot hatch version of the Civics built by the Japanese automaker Honda. The Si trim, which stands for "Sport Injected", was introduced for the third generation of Honda Civics in both Japan and North America, and at the time signified the most powerful Civics available in market (in SiR trim).  Many modifications can be done to the Honda Civic SI to make it look sportier and perform better.

Aftermarket mirrors are available in different materials, including FRP plastic, carbon fiber and fiberglass. Plenty of different styles are available such as D1 style, F1 style and M3 styles. You can also get them in manual or electric, and get them with or without LED turn signals built in.

The toughest part of the job is actually finding a set of mirrors that will match your body color. If your Honda is white or black, there are usually aftermarket mirrors available in those two colors. Any other color will need to be custom-painted to match your body paint.

Some aftermarket mirrors are manufactured with an additional lamp in the side. This can be wired to either to your parking lamps or your turn-signal lamps. Either one requires additional wiring to be threaded through the door, so I usually don't recommend this approach. Most of the cars I've seen with lamps in the side of the mirrors don't actually have them connected-they're just for show.

Standard equipment included 14-inch steel wheels with plastic wheel covers, front/rear disc brakes, tachometer, dash clock, power sliding moonroof, cruise control, power mirrors, power steering, and driver's side airbag. In 1994, a passenger side airbag and rear speakers were added.
