Default broadway mirror size for 8th gen

I'm looking at purchasing a convex broadway mirror for my 07 lx coupe because I often find myself twisting my head left and right way too many times to check for cars as I switch lanes compared to when I drive other cars. I'm asking those who have one installed on their 8th gen, what size did you get and does it interfere with the visors?

Input is much appreciated.

Those of you who have the 270mm or ~10.5" mirrors. Do they touch the visors at all?

I have the 270mm convex and it doesn't get in the way of anything. The Broadway is almost a necessity on the civics

I got the RAZO flat 10.5 inch mirror. Looks good and clips on easy. Only problem is the first few weeks, it will rattle a lot. Now mines don't rattle unless i go over a big bump. BTW i dunno but I tried the convex ones, and they hurt my eyes. They are curved a little and makes like a weird reflection. I suggest getting the flat mirror.
