To tell you the truth, I used to have them on my ek9 CTR (for the past couple of weeks actually) but I had to replace them (I just replaced them today with my OEM's) because in my opinion they suck. The visibility on my OEM's was 10 times better and in my humble opinion they look cheap. Thank god I came to my senses and removed them.
My advice is keep looking for those OEM's for your civic or find something better than those m3 style mirrors

i have the spoon replicas that carboncreations showed....
imo they are great, i have an ex so i have power mirrors, those were direct connection...no splicing and they did not require any fitting they were perfect and bolted up directly with no trimming necessary...i would assume the non powers would be the same and if youve got a car that only has one mirror all you need do is pick up that inside braket with the mirror mover

is it genuine Spoon?

I like the replicas just because it retains the power option, has a nice look, and is a good price.

Although the JDM flip-in mirrors are sick... =)

in reference to the first post i hate them. i was in your situation with only 1 mirror, so my dad got me the m3 led for my b-day last year. horrible fit (dremel is your best friend when installing!) i like the way they look when sitting in the car, but i think they look bad looking at them from the outside. and with that hole, they whistle at high speeds. they are an attention grabber tho if that is what you are looking for, i always get complments on them, but i never understand why b/c they look terrible. i personally like the spoon-style mirrors.

dont have any side shots. but here is a pretty close front shot, and you can basically see how they sit:

here's my spoon mirrors.....they look a little lop sided from the pictures but thats because the left one is actually mounted differently so you still have full visibility. But they fit perfectly and have a gasket that makes it all seal up and the power ones plug right into the harness just like oem, install was completely straight forward and took 20-30 minutes....nothing but love for spoon replicas.
