I'm big into function as opposed to fashion so I was wondering if any of you guys went out of your way to get an aftermarket rearview mirror or if you guys just left it the way it was.

Anyone get a broadway? Wink? etc... tell me about it! I'm looking to get something that'll reduce my blind sights.

umm the bigger the better? i got a broadway right after i got my brand new car.. the stock one is way to small to reach both blind spots. of course theres plenty of other kinds too like convex etc.. just go checkem out urself and choose one. of course dont flame me though.. this is just my opinion haha

Did you read the ****en question?

OP, I picked up a 270mm broadway, it helps a bit, but I'd pick up the convex because the flat doesn'tpick up the blind spots any more than stock.

I have a 300mm Convex Blue tinted mirror. No Glares, perfect vision for the blind spots and I doubt that it gets any better than that.

got a broadway. pisses me off though cause its shakes a lot on the highway

I heard the convex mirrors mess up your vision though so things may appear farther than they really are. My other friend recommended that I try a wink but I wanna hear from a Fit user who has one first.

I might just go with a broadway as a default.

LoL me too! I've noticed that I have to push up my mirror everyday b/c it sags down overnight.

i did, but read it wrong for some reason..

i always used to run broadways and they really don't mess with your vision. you still know where cars are. are your side mirrors adjusted properly? i don't really have any blind spots on my Fit when the mirrors are adjusted properly..

would the wink be the one that runs all the way across the top? (the 5 panel) if that's the model you were looking for i have one, but don't use it..

How do you like it? I was thinking of trying one but wanted more feedback from Fit users.

As he said in the linked post, he has used this mirror type on all of his cars for 20+ years. He obviously HATES this mirror.

Didn't read the linked post, did you?

I've had a 280mm Broadway (flat) on every car I've owned since 2003.
It's been something I cannot live without!
