Its somewhat hard to say what mirror that is, but as far as I know, there is no difference between 95-96 and 97-98 mirrors. Perhaps, may be the powered ones are different in wiring, otherwise, I think they are the same.

darn... I really need a positive identification of this mirror
what about the 323? does it look like a 323's mirror?

and yeah, I don't care about the wiring...

hey, do you have a close-up pic of your clear corners next to your headlights? I got mine some time ago but they....... soooo do not match.... I'd like to see what the "j-spec" ones look like nex to the headlights.

ok
I think I'll be able to recognize the mirror if I took a pic. I was hoping that maybe someone else could confirm it without a pic.

I'll go take a few pics later.

I saw this mirror on ebay it is more like a 95/96 protege style mirror , but it is hard to be sure due to the fact that you really can't see the whole mirror,,,
I personally would not buy it

off the back
I will tell you 95/96 and 97/98 mirrors are different , either mirror will fit on the Protege , but they are different mirrors..
the 95/96 is more like the split mirror , with the hump and the
95/97 is like the one peace mirror , without the hunp ...
they both come in power and they both fold

I will try to get a close of a pic I have in my sig, but I cam tell you the same thing. They do NOT match. I am lucky that my car is a bright, and sometimes its not noticable. But our headlights are different from those of j-spec, and I do not have $250 to spend on those from Corksport.

bad....
here's a pic of mine: http://www.pixelmaths.com/martin/Pic...s_close_up.jpg

if you look at the car from 10 meters away the corners and the headlights look great together, but not from up close
