Mirror Question

[rob99sp]

Does anyone know if the G20 (99) shares it's mirrors with another model ?

And do those M3 style mirrors fit G20's ? If anyone knows where to find any of the above it would be extremely helpfull.

It is possible to fit the M3 Mirrors on the G20...



as you see here...

They do look good but looks like some custom work would have to be put into the job.

Just buy some M3 mirrors and take them to a body shop that does custom work... even a crazy hot rod place.


Hand them the mirrors and say: make them fit!

thats a pretty nice p11.
can you use the same mirror control in the car to operate the new m3 mirrors?

If you get power M3 mirrors, yes. Most power mirrors all operate on the same three wires.

Three? Aren't there four? Two for vertical and two for horizontal.

...remove your mirror.

[b-b00gie]

OK dont bother, its not worth the trouble.. there's 3


...but in case you're still skeptical, here's a diagram from our FSM. You'll notice each mirror has (3) wires going to them.

Okay, I will.

I let my friend borrow my FSM so I can't look it up but I thought the p10 mirrors had four. Anyway I'll find out when I remove them to replace them with my new JDM mirrors.

Ok, I found M3 mirrors and can get them either with or without the lights.
I was wondering:

***THEY ARE APC MIRRORS...IS ANYONE FAMILIAR WITH THESE?***

1) Are these mirrors universal and will the wiring (Power Mirrors) be compatable to my 99 G20.

2) The guy I spoke to said that there may be an issue about mounting the mirror. He isn't familiar with the G20. Can this be custom fitted including electronics/wiring

3) Is it possible to fit the manual mirrors to my POWER sockets....(alot cheaper)

Thanks again everyone, Your help is appreciated.

[rob99sp]

Anybody know?

[b-b00gie]

1) the wiring will work. they have 3 wires just like our mirrors...

2) no one makes m3 mirrors that fit our cars. you will need to have the bases custom fit. (any body shop that does custom work can do this)

3) if you get manual mirrors the only difference is that you will have to adjust the mirror by hand.

Would you guys get the normal m3 mirror or the m3 mirror w/ turn signal lights ? I am trying to decide if these signals are worth the extra cash. They are nice but maybe a bit tacky on the G.

[frogg]

I say if you like them go with them.
Personally, I think they look stupid on any car and I think going with just the normal style would look best.

You guys also forget that the mirrors on the G are heated too soo youd hafta figure out how to add that on as well...or lose that nifty feature.
