Broadway rear view mirror

Does anyone have this? What are the advantages and disadvantages of it? How hard is the install and where can I get one?

I have one and I love it. Installation is universal, it just clamps onto your existing mirror.

I have the 280mm flat non-tinted version. The reflection is SO much clearer. But now that I have the Carbign Craft convex blue side mirrors, I'm going to pick up a 280mm (or maybe 300mm) convex blue version.

They sell for about $20. And yes, hit up mrwong@statik. He can get any size/color you want.

What Beebs said - just install it upside down.

Some people don't like the way it looks installed from the outside.

I don't mind it, though. The advantages outweigh this for me.

There is no reason not to get them, IMO. I'm dreading the day I get a new car without a driver side convex mirror.

John would have to tell you that. I don't have a Homelink mirror, so Iuno.

They're like $70, right? Maybe I'll have Henry bring me a set when he comes to the meet.
