Here are a few pictures of my setup when I took/broke the OEM mirror off and used the supplied brackets to mount it to the headliner.

I have noticed with the windshield kit though that the vibration has been cut down a good amount. The kit that comes with the mirror is pure garbage in my opinion. I still have some slight vibrations but usually only at idle....and I need to adjust that.

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.

Thanks for the pix. Looks like it can go a bit higher/closer to the headliner...yes?

Yeah it can much higher. I have it mounted really close to the headliner now with the windshield kit.

you probably don't road race or anything, so technically you wouldn't really need to use it


plus that rsx's interior looks to be that of a road racer or autox.. shifter extender.. mirror.. and the steering wheel

If I remember correctly you have to convert to the JDM sunvisors (they fold like most cars do)

check out the DSOC thread, a few of them have it.

oh and btw, I had a 93 SGP Sol Si w/B20VTEC not that long ago, fun little car.

Ill post up some more for ya Gabe but heres to give you an idea of just the Rally wink itself without those glueing mounts. I used the necessary hardware and just removed my visors. It gives awesome view Gabe, Atleast you'll put it to use for sure!

Mines bolted and aligned right at the tip of my headligner. My father did most of the installation due to me stripping some brackets. I get no sunlight in my eyes.! Ill take a picture of the interior right now. Be back soon

Hustle-up Ricky.

I pulled my headliner out last night. Hopefully I'll have the tweed layed down and headliner back in before the mirror get's here.
