Default Who has a broadway mirror?

Just wondering what people think of them. I'm ordering one tommorrow. It's a 300mm flat Broadway mirror. How much of a difference do they make for you?

They're actually JDM.
Broadway is awesome, just remember not to get the cheap.
If you're going to get a broadway, get one with the anti-glare and looks purpleish tint. Those are the goods one
expect to pay at least 40 for that one
the regular rear views are pointless!

That's funny, I can see everything with my stock rear view.

Maybe you want to see out the side windows?

I like the enhanced vision, especially with the curved mirror as it helps at the track when I have my helmet on.

It serves a purpose...I don't think it's ricey, but these days, no matter what you do or don't do, something is always ricey. Haters will never die...

I had one that I got for free and I put it on
as a joke. I hated it. I think the stock rear veiw
was much better quality and could see everything
that you needed to.

They are alright, not really a need for hatchbacks though.

Dont get the 300mm flat version. I have that one and you wont be able to see ur blind spots. I have a 2000 Si coupe btw. I suggest getting a 300mm convex.

broadway mirrors does wonders...i like not being having to look over my shoulder all the time to check my blind spots...only thing i've notice with broadway mirrors is if u have the music turned up to loud with subs then the mirror slowly vibrates and points down so u have to readjust it. kinda annoying.

Broadways have been stereotyped into being ricey but I think they have a functional reason of being there, just that some ppl may put them there for reasons other than the more obvious one...

How can a rear view mirror be ricey? I like mine because it was free.

I dont think they are ricey but i was saying that there is a stereo type of Broadway (not just your average rear view mirror) being ricey.. when a people notice a number of hondas sporting Broadways who also happen to have loud exhausts and stickers on their cars then it becomes part of the stereotype...

i have one i like it... i dont have any issues with them

Broadway mirrors serve a purpose, they're not for looks... Rice is when you put **** on your car that doesn't serve a purpose but to show off like you're tight... Broadway's eliminate glare from bright headlights and allow you to see your blind spots...

Yeah I think I am going to buy one. I just installed a rollcage, bucket seats, and harnesses, and now rear visibility is reduced because of the bars, and it is not easy to turn around and look over my shoulders like I used to because of the tight harness. What is the consensus, 300mm convex blue tint? JDMHondaParts has them for $20. Anybody have them (real ones) for less?
