It's way at the bottom of this page. You need to use the scroll bars that are inside the other ones. Here's a pic:



Normal mirror is on top, and you can see how much bigger the race mirror is.

For only $12 this looks like it might be a worthwhile mod.

I have one, as a matter of fact I had 4. Bought one at DiamondBarHonda, then later on at lifePlaza, then at a little asian store in Rollandhights. The mirror is blue, but its flat so you cannot really see corners all that well(blind spots), but at night when someone is highbeeming me the blue film helps me not get as blind

Oh yeah... Arizona, some of Indiana, and Hawaii, right?

Haha my bad.

As for not being able to see your blind spots with these mirrors... well, you can't see them with the stock mirrors, either. That's why they're called "blind" spots.

Does anyone have a pic of these mirrors installed? And any more things to avoid if I was going to get one?

Thanks.

i think the convex ones mean its arched outward so you can see more, it makes things smaller. Normal concave mirrors would make stuff bigger cause they are arched inward you dont see as far out to the sides.

yea, I got a straight one.. branded Broadway for $14. There's many different sizes.. the only negative thing is .. that when you put ur blinds down.. it might hit the mirror.

You mean the things that flip down to block out the sun?

yup the sun visors.

I thought about getting a tinted one like that too. I bet you can see the just a bit of the rear pillars with wide mirrors like that.


What I really want are the newer rear view mirrors that have temp, compass, maplights, and dim depending on the light shining on the mirror.

go to a speed shop. but even autozone/pepboys/straussauto has generic wide mirrors. Just don't get the ones that have neon, the ones that light up like neon license plate frames.
