does the passenger side mirror flare in towards the body slightly compared to the driver's side?

 

the only difference is the mirror itself is convex on the passenger side

 

its definitely different. When viewed from above the driver's side mirror housing is parallel to the car's side. the passenger's side angles in being closer the back end where the mirror is. The mounts seem ok, firmly attached and no sign of damage. With 3 bolts I doubt this has twisted. The mirror body itself seems OK and when twisted will positively and securely click back into its usual position.

 

The passenger side is angled in closer to the door on all MY's. You can notice it when looking straight at the mirrors from the front of the car. It's normal and most owners don't realize it until told about it.

RHD S2k's are the exact opposite where the left side mirrors (our drivers side) are angled in closer to the door. That is why when you mount JDM Spoon mirrors you will not get good visibility out of either side since they are designed for RHD S2K's.

 

RHD look at the mirror on the right...

LHD look at the mirror on the left...


See the difference... Sorry for the $hitty pics, it was the only front shots coming up on Google search

 

Hi, yes photos do show more side view of the passenger side mirror, just. I know what you mean not that clear as not close up.
But at least the replies have confirmed its normal. when I noticed it my fear was there was damage or not fixed correctly. mind suspects things gruesome when you have only had the car a day. at least thats one things not need sorting

cheers
