How to install carbon fiber mirror caps on a 10th gen civic | FK7 FK8 Si Hatchback sedan coupe 

Outstanding video! (And, no ridiculous “music”😆). You rock!

Great job on the video. Car looks tight bro. 👍

6:01 I love how neatly your hose is coiled! LOL. But seriously, this video is great. Our 2018 hatch has paint flaking off the mirrors and trying to figure out if I should go with a overlay or replacement. A little worried about removing the mirrors, I’ve heard they often crack. But your technique looks encouraging and it makes me want to give it a try. Thank you.

same, break one clip on my oem mirror, but I was prying from the outside. Good thing is, I'll never need my oem mirror cover again.

Great video Moises! My wife’s 2019 Civic’s drivers side mirror had the paint flake off. I figured I was going to have to replace the whole damn thing, then saw that they’re “covers”. That’s way cheaper and easier. Especially with your really well done video!

The side clip is a slide to the back to remove 😊 great video thanks 👍

Thank you for letting me learn by your installation, I appreciate it!

Nice...you should have also upgraded the mirrors to the blue lens. They prevent glare and provide an wider view of vision.

Looks good man

I’ve put carbons on my FK8. A bit of a nightmare if I’m being honest. on the tip of the side mirror it’s not quite flush but all the three clips are in place.

Hey do u know what the plastic white screws with the ball on the end are called? I snapped 2 of mine, need replacements but don't know the name of them 😬🤣

My Type R came from the dealer with OEM Honda carbon fiber mirror caps installed directly over the colored mirror caps the car came with from the factory. The Honda install directions tell you to remove the colored caps and install black covers before installing the carbon fiber caps. No idea why they (or after market vendors) make it so complicated. All i had to do to remove the CF caps was use some dental floss and plastic trim removal tools.

Where did u bought the Front splitter?

For me, finding/releasing that 3rd lower clip was the DIY deal-breaker. It's ok...dealership agreed to finish the job, at no charge since I'm replacing an OEM part with defective paint.

Might as well toss those sonic grey painted skull caps. They would have started peeling anyway. Also, slide the old caps straight back, not lift up.

Is this the same for 2019 Honda Civic?

I had a problem that I needed to replace bottom plastic. And I stuck on the step with the third clip. It was impossible for me to properly push it, the top cap was staying like it glued. So I tried a different thing: I wanted to unscrew screws from here, like in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i0PRSHxi4WI.html And a hint here for those who wants to get rid of the bottom cap that covers that 3 screws: push mirror forward and find a little hole where you will notice a little black tap, push it and you should feel like the half of the cap is opened. Now pull the mirror to you and find another hole with the similar tap, do the same thing and this cover will open Spoiled. Get rid from the top cap will still be problematic. I spend ~3 hours to remove the third clip and it was a random that I managed doing this. This another tap that the author broke: use hair dryer to heat this place so the plastic will be softer and try pushing this clip so that go inside plastic tunnel I spent 6+ hours to do all the thing

did you break the clip on the driver side mirror cap as well?

You did it the wrong way you only have to remove 3 screws and that’s all

Its really hard to tell between the fake and real carbon fiber. lol
