Anyone with a broadway mirror?

[JohnS.]

I'm just curious if there is anyone with a broadway mirror in their 6th gen. Do they really make a big difference? And how's fitment if you use the visors? I want to keep mine.

I always use my mirrors and the stock one is just too limiting and was thinking about getting a broadway if they make a big difference.

I have to bump this because I'm excited right now...

Picked up a 300MM flat from Evan. It's f**king HUGE. My friends think my 240MM was overkill... This thing is MASSIVE. I can see out the entire rear glass AND a bit out of the side windows. Just a tiny bit. All I have to do is lean forward towards the mirror about a half a foot to a foot and I can see out all 3 rear glasses.

Highly recommend it for everyone . I can't even use the stock one anymore after using my 240MM for so long now... I friggin love this 300MM.

i have one...i love it....other than having to move it back up every now and then but thats because my system

and visor is fine other than passanger side i think ill go take a pic in a couple of mins and post em up later

Nice, thanks. Forgot to mention, pics would be great.

But the passenger visor issue MIGHT be a problem for me then . I have more girl friends than guy friends and they tend to use the mirror in it a lot to do whatever it is girls do.

i love mine. I honestly find it hard to drive certain cars without them , thats why when i drive my dads van...i just detach it and put it on then i feel alot better LOL. fitment is perfect no sliding or anything and for the visor...for the driver it in the way but passenger every once in awhile they'll hit it.

From the pics it looks like the image in the mirror is not distorted/magnified, can you confirm that?

it was my camera....i was takin pics fast cause i had to be somewhere....but the mirror is very sharp and clear...

 

[JohnS.]

Nice. Thanks for the pics . Where can you buy em from and for how much?

And I know it's a silly question but how do you put it on? Just screw it on? I've never actually looked at the back of rear view mirrors.

I think the broadway mirrors have two expandable clips, you just open them enough to fight around the stock mirror and they just fit snug around it

 

[JohnS.]

Oh so it clips onto the stock mirror?

 

[aaren99]

I believe so, so its pretty easy to remove if necessary....and it doesn't look bad from back either

easiest mod ever! got mine on ebay...

 

[JohnS.]

Oh I forgot to ask as well, what size do you guys recommend? I see like 270mm, 300mm, etc. And what's the diff between convex and flat?

 

[falcon]

i have the 270 flat...

get the 240 if you don't want it sticking out the side too much

convex if you want to be able to see out your sides... but that distorts the reflection

ie: things closer than then seem

i have a similar mirror but its not made by broadway. i love it, if heaven forbid something ever happened to my car and i had to get rid of it that mirror is coming with me

Ya its hard not to use it once you had it. I believe ive had mine for about 7 years now.

Can you still see out the entire rear with a 240?

And with the whole convex/flat thing, I'm assuming to get a flat one then. I don't like the whole distorted thing. And I'm assuming the stock one is a flat one. If so, that's how I want it.

yeah dude you can see everything and yes it just clips over the stock mirror
