Default Post pics of your aftermarket rearview mirrors!!!!

I'm looking to get something that goes over my OEM mirror and gives me a better view of what's behind and to the side of me while driving.

This one here is 17". Isn't that a litle big for our hondas?



Post some pics

PS <> Will you still be able to flip the sunvisors down and around? I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

That's way to long and you will have problem with the sunvisor.
Mine is little longer both ways than stock one. no pic

if you're gonna get a broadway mirror, dont get anything too big. I think a 270mm already hits the sunvisors so you can't really flip them down without hitting the mirror.

I'd personally get a convex 240mm which is slightly bigger than the stock and does not hit the sunvisors.

Looked in the "safety" department and some others and can not find the mirrors.
What size mirrors do you guys have? Can you guys still use the visors with the mirror? Do you guys have the "flat" one or "arched"?

I really like the blue tinted one shown in the pic, but it's 280mm:

In my Integra, the passenger side sunvisor still hits on my 270mm convex. I positined the mirror on the stock mirror so that I can pull the driver side sunvisor almost all the way down (having the mirror angled towards me lets me pull it down a little more). But the passenger side barely even points straight down before it hits, it won't come anywhere near all the way to the windshield.

I have the 270mm convex Broadway Optics mirror, which has a slight purple tint to cut down on glare from headlights behind you, since the dimming function of the mirror doesn't work with the Broadway.

I love this mirror, bought it when I had my old Camry and put it in my car the day I bought it. I would never drive my car without it. Rear visibility out of Integra hatchbacks sucks @$$, but the convex mirror really helps.
