Introduction:
This is an autotoys.com installation. One of several
hundred by the staff of autotoys.com
This article is a sample of knowledge gained by working on real
cars for over 25 years.
Online for over 17+ years, when you buy a product from us,
we give you real support when you need it.

of customers, avoid delays, errors and miscalculations in your
installation.. buy from autotoys.com - your outlet for car audio,

Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products
in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors,
radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront).
Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar
products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want
a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront).
Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is
ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or
forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer
products.
Sales People (be careful!):
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through
our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords,
questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple..
the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not
buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake
by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop
up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person)
with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.
No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever!
They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake!
Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are
proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with
the newest products.

| Installation
of M3 Style Sport mirrors on a 1996 Honda Accord 4 door.
There has been a little bit of criticism on the articles we write for auto accessories. Some believe that some of our articles which addresses simple installations are not needed. We disagree. Not everyone has the experience. If we can show you how easy installation is - there will be no guesswork. You know exactly what is involved before purchasing. This is your benefit when you buy from AUTOTOYS.COM
For example, this article seems easy. A few 8mm bolts and it is out. If we didn’t show you how to do it, things would be completely diffferent in your mind, you will not know what is involved, how and what to remove to gain access to your mirrors, etc. Although the kits are designed for your car, sometimes the instructions that come with the kits (if any) can leave a lot to be desired! Featured in this article is an APC M3 STYLE MIRROR kit available NOW online in our AUTOTOYS #6 department under MIRRORS. It is for sale and highly discounted! Get a set for your car now
