2005 Honda Civic : Side View Mirror Painted (Hatchback)

There is OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts, CAPA (certified automotive parts association) parts and aftermarket parts.

OEM parts are made by 3rd party companies in contract with the manufacturer to sell specifically through the dealerships

CAPA parts are certified and inspected by an independent party (certified auto parts association) to meet specific quality and strength standards. CAPA parts are the standard when insurance companies adjust for vehicle collisions.

Aftermarket parts are often made by the same manufacturer as OEM and CAPA parts but do not hold the above titles. These parts are often indistinguishable from CAPA and OEM parts.

Please note: If our drop down options do not specify whether it is OEM, CAPA or aftermarket, then you can assume it is an aftermarket part. If you'd like a different option than what you see, please fill out our Parts Request form.

If you're unsure about the features your part contains, we always advise ordering by using the OEM number of the part you need. Simply call your local dealership to request the part number of the part you're trying to order. Usually, they'll require you to give them your VIN, which they will use to get you the exact part number for the part that fits your car.

Once you've obtained the OEM number from the dealership, cross-reference it with what's shown on our "Product Info" for "OEM part number" and proceed with selecting the corresponding drop down option.

Don't see your part number? You can always get in touch with our team and we'll be able to help you if the OEM number doesn't appear for any reason on our end.

Most body shops will say that a painted panel cannot be color matched without the car present and, or, without blending the paint. This is not entirely true.

Our paint line is formulated to match the mixture from the original formula the manufacturer painted the vehicle. What we do is choose the variant or create a special formula to mimic the color depending on the vehicle.

This means we do NOT paint your perfectly good adjacent panels; we don’t charge extra for labor and we don’t keep your car for days or weeks.

Please see our reviews.

Yes! Clear coat is an important part of the process. All of our painted car parts are finished with an extremely high-quality clear coat to achieve proper full paint coverage, referred to as OEM film thickness.

Lower priced dealers or shops may opt for using a cheaper clear coat, which will provide less protection for your car and make your part dull and lose it's shine over time.

ReveMoto's high-quality clear coat or top coat is what provides that OEM-quality, glossy shine to your car and will protect the paint coat from harmful elements for years to come. Check out our article on clear coat.

Thanks for catching it! We are always working on our listings and continue to upload new products and paint codes on a daily basis. If you can't find what you're looking for, simply let us know by using our Car Part Request form to let us know what you need.
