imo the massive mirrors look retardedhellecol said:
i have one from ioport.. it hardly looks retarded.. it is slightly bigger than stock and fits on perfectly.. clips over the stock one.. and its rounded.. i dont care much for the broadway because of the square ends.. the one from ioport is rounded and fits better imo... maybe i can take a pic of it? and the function is EXCELLENT with the mirror i can see out of both rear 1/4 windows..hellecol said:
well he asked for look lol, and i gave my opinion.. but yes they are funcional..
i totaly agree with you..BBProductions said:
i was really unsure when i ordered it.. but im so used to it now that i really prefer it over the stock.. .but i guess it all depends on which you get.. because some of them as you pointed out look odd..i just personally hate the look form outside the car.. imo get a tint stip from the fornt so it don look ghey, like obvious that its a clip on..
if you have a harness setup.. and you wear it correctly.. you CANT turn.. thats pretty much what those mirrors are for.. i can see COMPLETELY out the rear of my car while still facing foward...PhntmSk8r said:
bad picture and it has my old ugly gauges in it but this is what it looks like installed..
i bet most people didnt even notice it in there..
i cant stress how used to it i am.. i love it..Sorry to break it to you bud but that's not always good enough. I can remember plenty of times where looking over my shoulder simply wasn't enough. Fortunately, I've always been lucky enough to see the car in my blind spot just moments before I changed lanes, but not untill after I had already started makig the move. I kept telling myself to get one of those convex mirrors but never got around to it. One of the first things I did after I bought my new car just weeks ago was stop at walmart and pick up one of those cheap little 2" round convex mirrors you stick to your drivers sideview mirror. Probably the best $.98 I've ever spent.PhntmSk8r said:
here is mine and I love it. APC and glows in a blacklight which I have installed.
I havent had this problem, i look before i even hit my turn signal to see if anybody is over there.Lessen said:
I've never been in a car or seat for that matter with a true harness. Sory for the ignorance on that part, didnt think that far into it. But i could see how it would help with being able to see more if you cant turn, but i personally couldnt stand it. I hated the one that was in my car when i bought it, but then again, it was HUGE. Like twice the size of the mirror.
Ive always wanted to sit in a car with one but never had the opportunity. I had the blind spot mirrors for my sides on all my cars except the 240. almost hit a benz yesterday. I cant drive w/o them. im going to look into the one anthony has
