is that how they are suppose to go? I originally thought the Level Sports mirrors were stick on's...not replacements. I'm ok with either, but it seems like there is more work with the full replacement.
It is a little more work, and I think the directions given were supposed to be stick ons. But I did a search and found a DIY from Xviper and followed his "hair dryer" technique and it worked like a charm.

I think it gives a cleaner look myself. IMHO

Its related to how far back on the rails you sit and how the seat back is set. All the way back for me (I'm 6'1" with XL legs) so adjusting the mirror out does not work, convex did.

The full replacement is a very easy install. It simply clips into place (no adhesive needed) and it's a genuine quality Honda JDM part.

See the instructions here...

becareful when you're popping out the OEM mirror. I had mine soak in hot water for several minutes and it still didn't soften the glue enough to make it easy to remove. I ended up cracking the OEM mirror...

on a brighter note, the LevelSports.com convex mirror is awesome. my only complaint is the blue tint is a bit dark at night, but it looks awesome during the day. I'm sure it'll take a bit to get used to it. Highly recommended product...

I have had mine for a month. It makes a HUGE difference. Best money I spent on the car. I am a mechanical idiot and I did the install without destroying the car so I think anybody can do it.
