Honestly, the more pictures I see the more convinced I am that it looks terrible....
Think a little more about it before you make a decision.

i just like the way the wink mirror looks some reason and i could mount my visor's still i would just have to make a bracket and i saw eran's page with it and looks sick!!

you can find a broadway mirror on passwordjdm.com

 

[1991civicZC]

but that one i posted in the first post comes with the all hardware neccessary to install it into my 91 civic correct just making sure

both the 4 panel and 5 panel Wink mirrors are universal fit.

It's funny. I must be on the rare side of the spectrum. I don't like either the broadway or the wink mirrors. I have both of them sitting on a shelf in the garage and both were only in the car for less than a week.

Opinion:
The broadway mirror. I liked how you could see better out of the back, but I thought it was too big and didn't like having to duck down to see most of the stuff out of the right front of the car. I felt like the mirror was too "in my face".

The wink mirror. I thought it looked terrible from the outside of the car. Looked retarded to me. I had the mount for the windshield but didn't like how low it was, so I mounted it up where the visors are. Didn't like it there either. I even glued a carbon fiber panel on it hoping that it would get better looking from the front. Didn't work. It did help to hide it though.

In the end, I settled back on the stock mirror. The car is small enough to not need the extra view out of the back for me personally. I drive a truck for a living and I use my side mirrors for driving anyway. I am not really used to looking out of the rearview inside mirror.

I think Im gonna get a wink mirror sooner or later. I hardly use my flip down mirror due to wearing shades. I just want to find something to make it look more original. something like this:

post #37. I think the idea is pretty dope. maybe not smileys tho lol

 

[oc_civic]

its a civic.. are you towing some 75foot trailer or something.... i mean seriously.. i DID have a slightly larger mirror to eliminate blind spots in my EK and that worked fine.. still allowed me to fold down my visors.. and didnt look silly..... but these are just ridiculous imo..

 

[1991civicZC]

lol ok now i dont know what to think, i may just save my money until i do something drastic where it would look ok i was just thinking of something to do and thought a new mirror would be a cheap mod that would be practical and not look dumb but thinking of it there are not many blind spots even with no passenger mirro and a stock rear vew.... up in the air at this moment...
