I bought the Moddiction ones (not spoon) and you can stick them on top of the oem mirror with cushion tape or you can pop the oem mirror out of the plastic housing and replace with the convex mirrors. I did the latter by heating up the plastic housing with a hair dryer to pop out the oems and push in the convex. It's super easy.

Hey. The Moddiction mirrors replace the stock mirrors in the housing. Install is actually very easy as long as you heat up the black housing to make if more pliable.

You can see the mirrors here.

Yes they fit perfectly. You just need to be careful you don't crack them by pressing in the middle when installing, since they're curved. $60 for a pair and no more blind spots. I really like them. I used the hair dryer method, not the oven method. Just be careful not to scratch the housing when bending it to remove the mirror. Looks oem but they're blue and convex lol.

IC, the installation part is the one i worry the most, cuz i never try anything like this b4, since the car is alrdy 7 yrs old, which all those plastic parts are real easy to crack, so if thatz attach on top of OEM mirrors, that would be perfect, but now I have to think about it first, thanks for the answer tho!!!

If you break anything my honda dealer has the mirror/housing piece still in stock for $50 a piece in case anything breaks while installing. You just have to hair dryer the corner for a while and slowly tease that corner back and the mirror out. Heat it up again before you put the blue mirror in and go slowly bit by bit. Oh and heat the white sticky gum with the dryer and slip a sharp knife in to cut it when you pry the oem mirror out. Just don't scratch the edge with the knife.

moddiction mirrors ftw



EDIT:
the moddiciton kit gives you double sided tape so you can just slap them on top of your mirrors, but i don't think it's worth it cause i have heard they eventually just fall off. It is definitely worth it to take the mirrors out and put the new ones in. super easy!
