Has anyone installed one on their CRX? Its a long mirror that goes all the way across the top of the window where the original rear view mirror is. Theres like 5 or so mirrors. If you know what im talking about or have one yourself could you give me info on it? where did you buy it? how much did it cost? how did you install it? how well does it work? Thanks.

 

(just wondering) why do you want one of these?

 

http://www.summitracing.com they have the 5panel version you are talking about and they also have a 3panel version that clips on to the exisiting rear view mirror. I was planning to get one, but I dont like the idea that everyone behind me can blind me with thier headlights.... dayam bmw's and thier hids.....

 

dont need to turn head to check blind spots, keeping eyes glued to the stuff in front of the car.... you would understand if you lived in so-cal w/ all the traffic we have....

 

just remember its a driving, well crashing hazrd, glass in your head isn't good...

 

wow, good info. never thought of glass in my head. now im thinking twice.

Yeah well, in my rex i got a pretty big blind spot. I got sparco seats and i cant recline them and the head rest is pretty big so that dosent help. theres alot of ******* drivers in CA and i need to take precaution. but yeah, thanks for the info!

 

this ? eww

 

very eeeewwwwwww!?. dude det a broadway mirror there grrrrrrrreat!

I had one of those in highschool... I though I was soo cool.. hahahah

 

rear view mirrors are for pussies. You don't need to know how far behind your component is when your racing. Also I think that mirror is dumb no offense. Makes you look like a ricer,

 

The mirror is for racecars...meant for roll cages.

Its very diffuicult to see who is in your blind spot when you are strapped into a race seat with a harness

 

If you have your driver side mirror. Then why dont you just get those circle shaped mirrors that you can stick onto the mirror. That seems to fix the blind spot problem without having to do much work. You should be able to find those anywhere. Pepboys, autozone, etc. Good luck

 

The benefit to these mirrors is that they don't change the optics compared to what you're used to. The large convex mirrors like the Longacre mirror are great but it takes some time to get used to the "fun house" effect. I have only mounted to cage halos. I don't think I would trust that mounted to the OEM mirror. The smaller convex mirrors are fine for the OEM mirror and might be a good option.

 

Yeah, it's called a "wink" mirror. Very 80's style. yeah you can see more around you but when it comes night time and all the headlights of cars behind you will multiply and be a distraction. IMO

 

They have these in NASCAR Winston Cup cars. IMO they're big and bulky. I don't like em

 

i am unsure if you can run the stock mirror with a roll cage.
and when i get my cage, i was going tto run the 3 slot mirror.
yeah its really had to see your blind spots when you are
straped down in your seat. i have harnesses in my car, and
i have to run the slightly lose so i can see my driver side blind
spot.
i think is mirror looks a little dumb, but if you need it, then its
fine. and with a roll cage its good to have!!!

 

It fits, but it's not good for much. Mine just faced directly into the main halo.

 

yeah, i was just looking for solutions to my blind spot. I have a rollcage and sparco seats and a 4 point harness, so its really hard to see the spots. are there any other solutions besides the 5 mirror action? i dont care about looks, effectivness is the key in my book.

Like I said before, check out the Longacre convex mirror (or any similar style convex mirror) and see if you like the optics. Some people love them, others hate them.
