rear-view mirrors
 
what is everyone using for rear-view mirrors?

i still have the 5-panel wink that came off of the car and am thinking of reusing it. had bought a billet one when i thought i was going resto-custom, but obviously am bailing from that.

just though i would see what the GL is doing.

I use the stock one. It works. That's all i need.

stock for now

Alex September 16th 2002 17:15

Stock....but it is useless anyways.

yea, that is my situation. number 1, the mount is shot so i can not mount one if i wanted to. and number 2, in a choptop, use is limited. at least the wink helped with the blind spots. i will probably go with that. thought about one of those convex racing mirrors though. anyone using one of those?

Ops...I am sorry....I thought you were talking about the interior rear view mirror.
I will be using the tear shaped mirrors for my split and the passenger side will get teh one with the extended arm to actually make use of it.

i was speaking of the interior. there are some convex mirrors that are maybe 7-8" wide and 3-4" tall that i have seen that could work. may look a little odd, but they would work.

My problem is that my 2 rear windows are way too small. It would be the same with a bigger mirror. I hope that the both my outside mirros are good enough to compensate for it.

I'll be using a stock. I use my side views 99% of the time anyway. My Vitalloni's (Californian's) were stolen from my garage. When I get another pair I'll be using them. BASTARDS!

I've been thinking about just finding a rear-view from a civic or something and sticking it to the window its self, seems more modern.

i use a window mounted rectangular billet peep. door mirrors are stock until i can fined a decent carbon F1 style mirror that will work in the stock location.

vujade September 18th 2002 08:56

what about trying to adapt a porsche inside rearview mirror, will it work? anyone tried?

Mirrors? What are they? What's behind me is of no importance! :D

Seriously though, i have a dipping mirror from a Polo (Fox in the US?) Clips straight in, has a shorter stalk so is higher up the screen, and can be dipped unlike the stock one.

Moog.

I like this option, but I'm not clear on what Dipped means...
