Nice build. I like what you've been able to do on the car by yourself, especially the brembo brakes.

Two questions for you, for the zoom eng. rear view mirror, does it bother you with headlight glare? I find myself using the flip on the OEM mirror at times because I am not tall (5'7") and sit a bit lower with the bride rail. On the fence about buying this. My ASM side mirrors has been sitting at home because I wanted to replace the black rubber surround on the OEM mirrors, as weathering and owning the car for 6 years now has taken its toll on the surface. Is this only available with the OEM mirror itself as a whole? Any recommendations/tips on the install?

So I bought the ASM mirrors from Bouford and he had already mounted them inside the black oem plastic piece so I think you can buy the black mounting piece by itself. Once the mirror is mounted in that you just pop the old ones out and snap the new ones in. It was very easy.

As for the zoom mirror I don't drive the car all that much but I will say I never found the flip feater on the OEM to be that helpful. I am 6 ft and have a BYS lower seat rail. I usually have my OEm hardtop on and I have a larger wind deflector that is tineted that I think help with the headlight glare. I still get blinded on occasion but not that much. I really like the mirror and install was also a breeze. It has just taken a while to get used to the new shape since its so different than the OEM shape.

Cool. I just checked Majestic Honda and the rubber piece comes with the mirror. Doesn't seem to be separate. Good thing is that it's not pricey. Thanks for the input.

Yup! I really like the ASM mirrors since they give me a wider range of vision but they aren't blue like most others.

Who needs mirror inserts when you can use the BGE setting?

^^ I already do this. But when I get my car serviced, my mirrors are always adjusted. Plus this would help with street side parking with increase view.
