View Full Version : Swapping rearview mirror?
I'm thinking of swapping the main rearview mirror in the center of the car; NOT the side mirrors. The reason I want to do this is because the stock mirror doesn't fully allow the full viewing range of the rear. Anyone know of a good aftermarket rearview mirror, or hear of anyone doing this?

Some people seem to use a wideangle mirror made by Broadway. Type "Broadway 240mm
mirror" into google and you should be able to get more information.

Huge but worth the price :D. I have a Broadway mirror and it simply clips onto your stock rearview mirror. All your blind spots are instantly eliminated.

Me too, the 270mm Broadway convex mirror. It took a little getting use to at first, but mang, it reveals all!

I've got a lil 2" convex mirror for my side mirrors too. Can we say 0% blindspots? :thumbsup:

The convex mirrors aren't bad at all; you'll get used to'em quickly. You'll love'em 'cuz you can see soooo much more.

It was awkward because I was so used to seeing a flat mirror. The convexity made it awkward for a few days, then I got used to it :thumbsup:
About the foggies, I bought some films from Lamin-X (lamin-x.com) and applied it over the stock lens. I recently took them out to add a touch of green tint. This how it turned out:

You can get it just about anywhere. eBay, Options Auto, etc. Just look for Räzo Broadway mirrors by Carmate, I think they make great interior accessories for cars.
