broadway mirrors

Anybody have one of these? Are they too big, look awkward? Do you like it?

I have one and love it. You can see both rear corner windows and have no blind spot.

I'm interested in getting one - how do you install it? Does it mount over the existing rear view mirror?

The Broadway mirror is pretty cool... that thing is so big I can see the entire rear + the blind spots to the rights. Heck that thing is so big my friends say they can see into the past with it. The only minor problem is that sometimes when the passenger lowers the sun visor, it bumps the mirror out of place.

Ya i got one of those mirrors, but mine is curved so you can see even MORE than the regular flat ones.

They are pretty good. They have this tint to them so at night cars headlights from behind don't bother you. I find its also much clearer than the stock mirror.

Cons:
1. Forget using your visors, bring sunglasses.
2. In bumper to bumper traffic the car behind you can see you.

to install just clamp it onto your existing mirror, very simple to do hard to explain

convex ones are better cause you see more... that's why they cost a tad bit more..

Convex is better but takes some getting used to because things all of a sudden seem to move a lot quicker cause the surface of the mirror is uneven.

I bought a convex first and exchanged it right away for a flat one. It felt too strange to me to see things all distorted.
