hahaha.. I guess that means I have some "fried rice" in my car! (I just don;t have this Type R version that gives me 21 hp) I tell you, that mirror works. You can see some of the blind spots!! Everyone has some "rice" act on their car! haha

type-R is actually a brand of auto accessories in Japan. Similar to FIZZ, carmate, etc etc. I don't think there is any correlation between the Honda Type-R and that... maybe its just here that people put type-R stickers on anything that moves, but then I might be wrong.

Yeah but the "Type R" name didnt come out of their arse's. They are totally playing on the fascination we US'ers have with Japanese stock Type R parts.. Type R...big deal, just higher performance stock shiat made for the street. Come on now you can bring over a "Type R" from japan and ill still smoke you with my Turbocharged RS..he he ha

Not that im downin the Type R cars. Im really a Honda man and would kill any of you for a Type R anything. But that is just another version of the car, and doesnt give me any stiffy, like a good T3/T4 Turbo upgrade on a regular US Spec Integra...

Example
Choice between Type R manifold and JG Edelbrock. on a Teg
- im goin with JG Edelbrock (look at SCC comparison)

honestly there is nothing wrong with those accessories. I admit it, I do have a similar mirror, not type R but by broadway, it helps me see better thru the dark tinted windows and also lets me see the entire backside better. What is so rice with that? I think the only problem is on ebay, the sellers call everything JDM and markets everything with a rice connotation to it.

if it was named acme rally mirror you guys would have no problem. Sh*t I may bid on it. a buddy of mine has got this rally mirror in his VW GTI, that goes from a-pillar to a-pillar. I've driven his car and you see everything. You don't need side mirrors with that thing.
