I know there has been threads already made for this, but I wanted to write a tutorial on how to install this quick project. It's a fairly easy process but I know there are people out there that might need help so here you go!
Product link: https://www.sumaperformance.com/collections/civic/products/15-civic-10th-generation
When I bought the item it was on sale for 15 percent off.
Installation:
First step is to use painters tape to cover the bottom side of the mirror. This is obviously to protect the trim when you have to pry the mirror out later.
Next I used a pry tool to pry out the mirror using a pulling force. The point to pry it out is shown in the picture. I recommend using one of these tools as it will minimalize the chances of ruining the mirror trims. Excuse my feet LOL.
After prying it out you will be greeted with this simple contraction of the inside of the mirrors.
Pry out the two white knobs in the direction the small knob is facing and simply put it back in it's proper position into the mirror cap. MAKE SURE WHEN YOU put in back into the mirror cap the first knob should be facing down and the knob farther away from the door is facing to the opposite side.
Close ups of the knobs.
Once that's done go back to the OEM mirror you removed and pry out the white plastic part used to mount the mirrors. Again using my trim tool to pry it out.
The pieces with the knobs are still in this picture but they should already be in the mirror cap.
The next step is to place that piece into the aftermarket mirror exactly the same way as it was in the OEM mirror. You should hear some satisfying clicks as the white part clicks into position.
When popping in the after market mirror in, start by pushing in the middle to lock the main ball joint in and push down on the two little knobs to lock them secure. Make sure the knobs are pointed in the direction down and another facing away from either door.
Once you're all done just adjust the mirror and the opposite side will be the exact same process.
OEM vs Suma:
You can def see much more using these mirrors. OEM can barely see one house vs the Suma which sees the side of my car plus reaching to the second house.
I will be testing out the night glare tonight and posting pictures.
@Suma Performance is very quick to respond to messages and emails and he will make sure to get your order in. It's a good product for sure and provides safety and makes the car look cooler IMO.
