I've seen it done, why don't you measure between the two visors and buy a mirror to fit? I would have thought that anything larger then stock would cause a problem with the visors.

I've got one that I used for a week, and then took off. It cuts too much of the forward vision to me. I just put one of those circle convex mirrors inside my driver's side mirror, and that works well enough.

I forgot to measure it this morning, but if anyone wants it for the price of shipping, let me know. I'll measure tonight and post up the size.

Same for me. Just have to watch out for the wife pushing it too far and moving the mirror. Big improvement over the tiny stock mirror.

It's a big mirror that clips over your rearview mirror. Almost like a schoolbus lol

f@*k it if they are jdm or not. I they work, and work really well. i own one in my 4dr sedan, less blind spots and super for spotting out the sneaky cop in traffic. worth every penny.

wow.. that actually doesn't look too bad at all. I was expecting those wide as your car rear view mirrors that are rediculous. That is actually really clean looking.

i got the 270mm convex w/blue tint in the wagovan and it is amaz-az-az-azing! the visors just barely clip it though and when it happens, it pretty much cheeses me off LULZ.
