are the rear view mirror from suma also? i don't see one for the the 11th gen on their website unless the 10th gen fits as well.SUMA replacements secured. Crazy field of view now
product link?Suma. Full replacement. Not absurdly overpriced.
Type in Suma + FL5 in Google.product link?
glad I saw this...dang, I was about to order someNot sure what the difference is between the JDM and USDM side mirrors, but the FL1 Spoon side mirrors did not work out for the USDM FL5. I have seen elsewhere that they worked on a JDM spec, and did not seem to have any issues with fitment.
Will they fit USDM? Yes, to a degree. Will they line up with the blind spot monitoring? Not even close. I am not the biggest fan of side mirror overlays, but Spoon has the rear view mirror which I like and I wanted to try and stay consistent with the rear view and side view mirrors.
When I first installed, I centered the mirrors on top of the OEM side mirrors and there was a slight gap all the way around. Something that I was not thrilled about, but may have been able to live with until Spoon comes out with their full side mirror assembly. However, I quickly noticed that the BSI was not even close to being aligned. When aligning the BSI, there was a significant overhang on the right side of the driver mirror and a large gap on the left side. Didn't even open the package for the passenger side to see how it compared after this.
I will be looking into Suma and/or Mugen side mirrors next. Both of those options are a full mirror glass replacement so hopefully will not have the same issues.
