Icon2 Del Sol wide mirror?

Hey, on my 93 Del Sol, the previous owner glued a mirror onto the visor to cover a blind spot, and well... ew. So I want one of those mirrors that goes all the way across - I heard they're called racing mirrors? Where can I get one and how do I install it? What are my other options for a longer mirror?

Thanks guys!

I have a 94 DelSol and those long segmented mirrors are freaking awesome! No blind spots at all and you can see the faces of anyone, either side coming up from afar. They srew into the trim above the windsheild and are sturdy. My window decal covers it completely from the front view and it's no lower than stock.

Thanks so much!! Beautiful sol! So it just screws right in? Where did you get your mirror and for what price, and what kind of size? If I recall correctly they come in different sizes, but I could be mistaken

You mean a wink mirror?

Ebay - $20 or so.

Had one in my 99 Civic coupe. It is now in my 98 Integra sedan. Love it. Just re-used stock visor bolts.

So that's what it's called!

Is there any major difference between a 5 panel or a 3 panel? As in, is one better than the other?

None that I ever saw. They always had to be rigged. Maybe it's new?

Re-use the visor bolts. Just tossed in using one screw in this picture.



Got creative, made a little bracket to allow the second screw to be used, pulled the headliner and "tucked" the brackets out of sight.
