There is a lot of adjustment with either mounting kit though. When it's not raining out I'll snap some pictures of the new setup so you can compare the two.

Im really satisfied with my results because of how smooth it is, I was really worried about the mirror coming off from Vibrations from my motor mounts at Idle. With a few extra washers it holds down real nice.

Nice Ricky.

1994CD7 · 07-10-2009, 08:54 PM

I just picked one up, install was super easy. But there was no way to keep the visors unless I paid $12 for a windshield mount kit

I'll post some pics soon.

Daniel jdm · 07-10-2009, 09:31 PM

yee there pretty clean...

ChadB · 07-11-2009, 11:31 AM

I think I might rock one in the STI.

kulo · 07-11-2009, 11:36 AM

or can u just flip it upside down

RICKYritethere · 07-11-2009, 01:53 PM

^ Me and my sister went a little overboard.

You can flip it over but the "Rally" Logo will be upside down, it doesnt matter youll probably draw over it though.

i got the windshield mounting kit for the sol, that **** sucks, maybe its just the kit i got doesnt work good, but whenever i hit a big bump the mirror will fall and when im on the freeway i gotta hold that **** with my hand

Wilky · 07-11-2009, 08:09 PM

Ordered mine this morning from Amazon for $30 shipped. They aren't carried anywhere locally.

I'll post pics in my EF when I get it installed. :D

EKwillister · 07-11-2009, 08:14 PM

I installed mine recently.

khmers0uljah · 07-11-2009, 08:16 PM

I'm still debating on whether or not I should get these. I don't want to sacrifice my visors but I'm getting tired of the broadway mirror. Hmm..

EKwillister · 07-11-2009, 08:23 PM

For me, it's kind of like driving with visors down all the time, except it's not annoying like the visors are.

khmers0uljah · 07-11-2009, 08:56 PM

Really? The sun doesn't get into your eyes? And how do I know which wink mirror fits my car?

1994CD7 · 07-11-2009, 09:24 PM

I think the 5 panel will fit most Hondas.The only thing that sucks about mine is that there are 3 holes where the screws where for the rear view mirror.

katzenjammer84 · 07-11-2009, 09:57 PM

These things are by far the ugliest trend I've seen in sometime.

The five panel is 34" wide so I measured the distance between my sun visor mounts and it is roughly 34" so that is a good start if you want a tip.

Sic_DA_Nine · 07-11-2009, 11:33 PM

not really a trend to me. i get it due to the stock mirror sucking ***.

from the driver view, i see everything! i see through my 1/4 panel windows also!
it reduces blind spots and i think everyone should have one.

im tired of people trying to cut lanes and almost hitting me.

here is a picture of mine installed and i must say, its the best thing i ever bought for my car. i dont care if its ugly or not. it works great!

i used the windsheild mount kit and im still running my sun visors

sorry..its a camera phone picture

honda-boy · 07-12-2009, 01:39 AM

Does anyone have a pic of a windshield mounting kit ? I'd love to get one but I can't find any on ebay and over here in Belgium they don't sell wink mirrors.

kulo · 07-12-2009, 03:30 AM

anyone got the website that sells these

You can adjust how it sits so it kind of acts like a visor all the way across. Also, the box says they're universal but that's debatable. Mine isn't "properly" mounted with both bolts for the brackets, just one on each due to a slight incorrect fitment, but it still works fine.

Kulo, you should check your local Autozone/Kragen/Shucks/Napa. I picked mine up from Shucks for $21 out the door.

Not for some people, If you've ever ridden in a RSX we have blindspots everywhere. Especially with a Huge wing. Depends on the owner.
