Both of my side mirrors are kinda junky, one has a crack right in the middle while the other won't stay in position when i hit a bump. so i ordered a set of "spoon" style mirrors off ebay, which came in today. And for $30 they look pretty damn good. my only problem with them is that they dont have manual adjustment "sticks(?)" Am i supposed to take them off of my old mirrors or just go without? if i go without them I'll have holes in my doors right? i guess i can cover them with the door panel triangles from a car with power mirrors. just wondering if anyone had any ideas.

All the "spoon" mirrors Ive seen have been electric. So you would either, have to wire up the mirrors or just adjust them by hand. and Good look finding the electric panels. they are hard to find.

Nope, i have a SPOON replica style mirrors on my 92 "dx" hatchback. and you have to adjust them by Hand. ( no need of the "sticks" ) Only EX and Si Models come pre- wired.

Thanks guys. That's what I figured.
I already have one of the panels, so I guess it's time for a trip to u-pull it.

They price by what the part is. A headlight is a set price. A hood is a set price. I just don't know what they are. My center console from a sedan was $15. +$2 to get in

That's still good advice. The headlights for my Yukon were awesome. For about three days when the moisture inside covered the lens. Other than that I've never really had a problem with eBay items.

Did/do you have any issues with being able to see out of the spoon mirrors vs. stock? Ive heard of people losing field of vision with the spoons.

I've only driven about 5 minutes today, but there is a definate loss of vision. I guess it's a good thing I got that wink mirror! :D
I'll post a pic tomorrow.
