Rearview Mirror Options
 
Are any of you guys using a after marked rear view mirror?

I was looking at the clip-on Allview mirror. It looks pretty good.
Also considering the full length one. But they are not cheap.

I picked up a clip-on rear view mirror from autozone for $17. Its pretty good but not concaved. I was hoping for a better view.


Any recommendations or opinions?

Thanks,

That looks cool. I like the red.
But it looks like just a cover for the mirror.
I was looking to get a better view with a wider mirror.

I know. And the only mounting they show is on a bar. Im thinking maybe its just for a rollcage?
I think I would have to go with the clip-on one.

I've always used Broadway clip on rear view mirrors.

I think they make a 300mm one too.

I installed the 300mm one and it made a huge difference with the blind spots in the car:

I recently switched it out for the convex 300mm and like it even better. You can see out the rear passenger windows in it.

I have a Broadway 270mm convex mirror, the convex mirrors really help with blindspots, especially compared to the non-convex ones imo. Like RSD said, I too can see out of the rear passenger windows as well as a good part of the rear driver side ones too, although I have BSM on my car anyways.

+1 for broadway mirrors, I have converted my whole circle of friends which aren't even car people to start using them after being in my car.

I have the 360mm flat Broadway mirror and like it better then the convex ones, it is also wide enough I can see out the back side windows. The only problem with the Broadway mirrors are they shake a lot but I also have a JBR 88 RMM so that doesn't help.

If you think you need a wider rearview mirror you are not adjusting your sideview mirrors properly. With properly adjusted sideview mirrors there are no blind spots.

Great info, this is very true.
For some reason I love looking at the side of my car when I peep into the side view mirrors so I can never expose the blind spots 100% :(.

Great info, thx everyone!
