Hi European owners!

Are your side mirrors aspherical? I would love to have a set of mirror glass but can’t seem to find any part number or European dealer to ship to United States yet.
Thanks for the help!

Typically it would be similar to this. The US 2016MY cars have only on the driver side but the 2017+ do not.

Then I understand my car does indeed have an aspherical mirror in the driver side.

Thanks for checking!
Just the driver side? Shame they dont have it on both.


These seem to be full convex and non-aspherical (two different curvatures) like the one posted above. That being said, I wouldn't mind getting it though.



This guy has it for $100shipped which isn't bad.

For sure the other side doesn't have the black line, but I haven't checked the curvature.
Maybe in UK they have an aspherical mirror on their driver side(on the right).

what is the price difference between finding an EDM OEM set as opposed to finding a product like the Suma Performance? I have the Suma set and it's pretty nice.

Doesn't seem too bad. The Suma ones are like $145 heated. They work fantastically over the stock ones. The odd bit is the blue tinting and really wide view angle, but I got used to those pretty quickly

Yea I'll most likely get the Honda ones since they are factory and I don't like the blue tinted mirrors.

Did anyone confirm if the 2016 Civic drivers mirror with the aspherical region fits on the 2017-2020? I found a used one off a 2016 I'm thinking of buying.

Keep in mind that if you go for the Euro ones they're gonna have the blindspot indicator on the glass too.

Would check out the Spoon mirrors if yours aren't heated. If they are, Suma or Mugen

Not all the variants of the civic in europe came with the blindspot monitoring, (as you can see in the image of my mirror above). I was even looking if I could retrofit the BSM system but the radars look expensive
