    .
    NOT ALL JDM mirrors are interchangeable / direct fit to usdm housing.
    There are two different types of JDM mirrors. A belt driven fold type and the usual gear type. Depending on the type you have depends on if the mirror can be transplanted into a usdm housing or not.

    The angle of the mirror is changed from the A pillar mounting bracket alone. However USDM and JDM A pillar mounts are ALL interchangeable.

    How do i know all this crap? Because i have 3 sets of PFM's, dismantled and rebuilt each one. I also have Heated PFM's on my 3g lude which also have two different company styles not related to those on the CB7.

      Very good point. I ran into this issue rebuilding mine. I was trying to resolve the visibility issue that would be present when installed and at the same time prevent having to repaint. While I will still have to repaint, the visibility issue can still be fixed by using the mounts that came on your car. I realize you said that but I was just clarifying.

        I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification!
