Ahh I see, thanks bro.

Kulo, you should check your local Autozone/Kragen/Shucks/Napa. I picked mine up from Shucks for $21 out the door.
Sweet, I asked this because I don't want my GF to complain about not having visors. Plus she needs to look at herself every so often lol. Thanks for the help you guys, probably going to pick this up at my local Kragen.

I was wondering if you can still keep the visors and install the wink or does it have to come out?

I don't know how many brands are out there. But the original wink mirror comes with the brackets and everything you need to install into your sun visor location.

I think he was saying the company sells a separate mount kit that allows you to keep your sun visor. This is the windshield kit.

But honestly, the wink mirror itself acts like a sun visor. I don't recall ever driving and wishing I still had sun visors? But I can see people using the wind shield mount kit for more stability.

LOL bandwagon trend? the wink mirror has been around long enough since most of you could even walk, but that's a story for a different day. in my opinion, this mirror isn't for everyone and if you do like your visors, having a wink isn't the greatest thing since you'll have to prop your head in a way so it works like a shield. your girlfriends will hate it for sure; i don't know a single girl whose sat in my cars over the years and enjoyed not having shade because i ditched my visors for a mirror (they're usually too short to sit up high enough).

I've got one of these. I love it. I don't miss the visors, either. I'll post a pic when I get one.

I had to chime in on this thread! I agree with Farfromugen this is no bandwagon trend! This was started back in the day! All the old school OG socal guys know what a wink mirror is. Everyone was rocking them back in the 80's in their old school Toyotas,510,Mazdas etc...
