Broadway Wide-angle rear-view mirrors

I love using these mirrors since it gives me a nice wide rear view and virtually eliminates the blind spots. I tried to use my old one from my honda, but the homelink auto dimming mirror is too big for the mirror's feet.

Were any of you successful in using the Broadways on your homelink mirrors? I'm hoping that the newer ones have a bigger grab compared to the one i bought almost 8 years ago.

I'm assuming all years use the same mirrors, but just in case, i have an 05 with premium.

TIA

Just leave it on your Honda. Your G looks better without it.

It's not about form, it's about function

I didn't buy my Broadway to look cool or whatever. I use it because it helps with blindspots.

LOL, back in the early 90's this mod was a necessity. aside from the functional aspect of wider rear vision, it was almost a standard with all the honda/import fanatics. I still have my original mirror from when i was 16 (11 years ago) on my 92 Integra GS-R along with the OG Air Spencer "squash" scent!

sigh, i miss those days....motor swaps, cut springs & test pipes, lol. still nothing like the look of the guy who just got smoked by a 100-shot turbo 2.2L prelude powered hatchback (i miss this car)

This is what i'm trying to find out. I tried using my old one and it didn't fit. Trying to see if maybe Broadway changed their design since i bought mine so that it fits the homelink mirror. I don't want to go out and buy one and then waste time/gas to go return it.

which type did you all get....the flat or the convex?

I have another car that has no passenger side door mirror.....I was going to get a broadway to help see more on that side.....would the convex be the one to get or do they make things look f'd up?

what about this mirror? it should help with rear view and the homelink buttons will still be usable.

I have convex and i like how wide the angle view is. Both flat and convex have a broader rearward view, but the convex affords some more angle, but makes everything a bit smaller.
