I always thought the Mugen mirror cover only fits the RSX's mirror and not the EP3?

Took one for the team, guys.

I just finished placing the order with Bernardi Honda.
They didn't have any in stock, but they will place the order with Honda tomorrow (Wednesday) so it'll be overnighted to them and will be shipped out to me (Thursday).
I'm in the neighboring state so i should receive it Friday or if not, Saturday.

I'll keep you guys posted. After shipping I was charged $56.00

What year / color ep do you have Kerby? And what cover did you get?

As far as the silver goes... I need to go find a Storm Silver Fit and park next to it to see the difference in color. I'll let that make my decision I guess. If it's a close match I'd probably go silver, otherwise I think I'd definitely go red!

why not paint it yourself? i also found similar mugen decals (3.5" x 0.5") online for 9$ that would fit unto the cover after its painted. anyways...id definately go w/ red. looks sharp, when I have a lil more $ im getting one in red...not happy about the price tho.

2005 SSM.
Wife and i decided to get the Milano Red. There are two reasons:
1.) I doing a red interior and it'll somewhat match
2.) I'm going to paint it Milano Red in the future.

i have to do some clean up work prior to installing it. I had put a Broadway style mirror and i foolishly put double sided foam tape... so we'll see how i clean that up. I'll do some good documentation work.

I also have access to a 2003 EP that a good friend of mine has that's local. I'll check for fitment, and take pictures too and let you know what we find.

The one I seen on kings doesn't have the mugen logo on it. Does itj ust come with a sticker or something

Kerby
09-01-2010, 10:10 AM
The one posted on king is a totally different part number. i have no idea what part they are refering too.
The Part number on King's Website is 76450-XK7C-K0S0. And here is a pic of the product King has available:

http://www.kingmotorsports.com/images/Product/large/387.jpg

The part number that I ordered was the 76450-XTK-000 ZG. It also looks EXACTLY as the last picture i posted earlier in this thread.
The Mugen sticker already is put on for you, and it appears there is enough of a "lip" clearance for the 04-05 mirror.
The double sided tape has already been applied to the cover. All you need to do is wipe clean the mirror with the supplied alcohol wipe and remove the paper from the adhesive strips and install.
I'm really curious and interested to verify usedep3's statement that the 02-03 mirrors are different. I've always been under the impression that the mirrors were the same.

**Please be advised if you guys are planning on ordering the cover, the color of the cover will determing the color of the Mugen sticker**

**EDIT** I've done some more diggin around and have found the following info:
WHITE mugen sticker:
Blue Sensation (Code - 000ZA)
Tidewater Blue (Code - 000ZB)
Crystal Black (Code - 000ZE)
Milano Red (Code - 000ZG)

BLACK mugen sticker:
Taffetta White (Code - 000ZC)

sorry guys. Had some some CRAZY issues last night:

I got a truck as the new beater. So I dropped off the truck to get tints done.
My wife picks me up and we go to dinner.
Apparently we are having a heat wave here in the Northeast. So after dinner we get back in her car and the car is DEAD!
We call up a friend to give us a boost. Sure enough the battery is so drained that it takes a while for it to finally start.
We go pick up the truck.
The wife is driving me crazy saying she wants to stop at the local dairy bar. OK, fine... I apease her.
We get there and she shuts off the car.... NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Car doesn't want to start again... but I have jumper cables in the truck...
I go to boost the car... battery catches on fire. SH!T

Long story short, we left the car there over night cause the only autoparts store that has a 120A main buss closed for the day.

i do have my camera with me... so I'll snap some shots in the office of the piece and post it up later this morning.

pics looks great Kerby.

honda 02/03 ep3 front windshield: 73111-S5T-A00

honda 04/05 ep3 front windshield: 73111-S5T-A10

honda 02/03 ep3 rearview mirror: 76400-S6A-003

honda 04/05 ep3 rearview mirror: 76400-SEA-004 or 76400-SEA-014

completely different part number on windshield and mirror. the difference in the last 3 digit for the p/n of the 04/05 mirror just suggest either a different manufacturer (more likely) or slight design change (less likely). the mirror style shown shown in all the pics is from an 04/05 EP. Again, i'm not saying that it won't fit a 02/03 EP. just saying there's a difference.

i had an 03 EP previously. now, i'm in an 04. only reason i know there's a difference. If it's any consolation, i prefer the 02/03 mirror over the 04/05. it's 'sturdier.'

sorry guys... my wife was sick and I helped around the house... clean it up alittle, made her dinner.... basically her job.:mangel:

So she made it up to me by going into the garage and installing the cover without telling me.
It was kinda cute seeing her face and being all accomplished so i couldn't get mad.

look at it this way... for $50 you can get it. If it doesn't fit, I'm sure a facelifted ep3 member is going to snatch it up. It's a mugen part after all. Some one get the black... it's pretty much universal and will go with any color.

well yea, the base is different. as far as i know the part that holds the rear mirror assembly onto the windshield is not available separately from the dealership. the 04/05 mirror assembly is more of a female attachment and the 02/03 is more of a male attachment on the mirror end.

I'll look into it a bit more tommorrow. I would think there would have to be a replacement base incase it was broke off, that would suck to replace an entire windshield for a clip.

usedep3
09-14-2010, 11:41 PM
yea, let me know if you find anything. IMHO, 02/03 owners do have the sturdier mirror. i think there's a possibility that the base might be a universal part you can get at like a pepboys, autozone, etc.

here's another 'FU' from honda. besides not being able to use the mugen mirror cover on an 02/03. if you happen to somehow break or lose your rearview mirror assembly, 02/03 owners will have to shell out $60-$85 for a new one. 04/05 owners will have to pay $12-$16

attachment point on the 02/03 mirror assembly side looks like this:
http://www.pixelculture.com/MX5/Mirror/NB_Mirror_04.jpg
it's a male connection. therefore the windshield need to have a female connection to hold the mirror securely.
its the opposite for the 04/05 mirror assembly. the attachment point on the arm of the 04/05 mirror is a female connection. so the windshield needs a male counterpart. here's a pic of how the 04/05 looks like:

they do sell universal mounting kits like this:

how 'universal' it really is, i don't know.




just as usedep3 said no workie:( ....base clip is only with windshield, and they will not interchange, and another person (stoop, who tried to put his extra 03 mirror on his 05) said the 03 mirror was better in his opinion also...... damnit! Thanks for the heads up usedep3, just had to physically verify on my own, but you were right in all points :(

I got a red one for sale $50

yeah, i went through this ordeal when i got my 04 ep. i called stoop and confirmed all this with him also. i really REALLY wanted an 02/03 rearview mirror again.

From what I remember, he was working at one of the honda dealerships in Oregon.

Such a win lose situation. 02/03 has a better mirror but cant do this mod. I guess there are more differences between the 02/03 to the 04/05 than meets the eye.

How close is the Blue Sensation Pearl to the Vivid Blue Pearl? I'm debating between the black or the blue sensation pearl but I don't want the color to be off
