    OE Mirror replacement 2 Door Coupe in Toronto area?

    I have been restoring a 93 LX Coupe that has pooched manual mirrors and I am need of at least the DS as a complete replacement. I know the 4 door mirrors will not work.

    Any idea besides Honda where I can get them?

    I have searched kijiji, craigs list, aftermarket companies such as Cross Canada (that sell body parts) all with no luck.... I found a very used one far away for $125.... little rich for what it is....

    Any help would be appreciated. I would even take one out of the USA if I could get a decent one.

    Hey I'm in your neck of the woods most days. There are a number of wreckers in Hamilton that have parts for our cars. A place called Mike's Auto Parts on Mud St seems to have the best selection out in this region. Shoot me a DM and I'll give you some directions if you like.

      The last time I was at Mike's maybe a couple months ago, there were 6-7 CBs there, but they were all sedans. That's probably changed a lot since then, but still. Don't ever pay more than like $40 for a mirror assembly. These cars arent classics yet!

      Also, I'm pretty sure you can swap the base of the mirror. I know of people who have done that to make power folding ones work on their coupes before.

        I bought a coupe mirror from them a few months ago for $25, they have decent prices IMO. I was there about a month ago, I think they had about 10 or so, couple coupes in the mix. They do seem to go through inventory quickly, half the ones last month were new since a month prior.

          Thank you!

          I generally use the site www.car-part.com. This site SHOULD show all wreckers in North America as this as what they use to see where they can get parts.

          Mike's has always been a great place to get parts. I have been dealing with them for 20 years. Never thought of just doing the old school thing and actually calling them

          This car will be gone late today.... I have completely restored it for my nephew as a gift. His is a true CB7 guy and lost his car a couple years back due to finances. So in need of wheels I had this car available and did a complete restoration to it... complete mechanicals (tune-up), Complete new exhaust including a Magnaflow stainless muffler, complete new braking system (EVERYTHING including caliper paint) an EXR spoiler and some Lancer Sparco Rally wheels finished in gloss black!

          I will post some pics when I have a chance..... off to Mike's now and thanks!

            Sweet, sounds like you've put a lot of work in to it! I've been looking to get the EX-R Spolier myself but haven't had a chance to visit the wreckers in a while now.

            If they've got anything interesting at Mike's let me know, I might have to head down myself!

                Good luck! I betcha any money its the mirror off the grey LX coupe they have lying on it's side. I took the driver side mirror from that car a couple months ago as a stop-gap for mine (being a 4door it doesn't fit properly).

                Either way I'm looking forward to seeing some photos of the car before you finish with it!

                    Agreed. Only 1 of the screws actually fit on the coupe mirror, and I managed to get a second in. It's incredibly hard to find working LX(DX) mirrors from a wrecker. Most of the places I've been have broken or damaged parts. I'd rather go OEM than after-market any day.

                          And this is why we don't allow "where can I find" threads in this section.
                          trinistylez, RustyBucket, and BMaXRacing, see you all in a week.
