ive seen them in eg civics..they usually remove the sunvisors and use those mounting points

How exactly does that work?

[lummieCB7]

remove the visors by unscrewing the 2 phillips screws that hold each one on. Then reuse one screw on each side to hold on the mirror. Here's a picture of mine when I had it in my car.

nice! thanx for explaining it
i ran a 5 panel mirror..but i'd rather keep the visors to block the hot cali sun!

Yeah it should be included with the mirror. It should have 2 right angle brackets with a nut and bolt, 2 longer slide brackets and 2 knobs for quick adjustments. One thing about the wink mirror is that it vibrates a lot. I used to have a small beanie baby stuffed in the space between the mirror and the windshield to help dampen the vibrations.

I could see elderly people using this but in the tuner section i'd never imagine.

These were use a lot back in the 80's and they add for a great view, remember my uncle always had them in his ae86's(he had 6 diff ones throughout his life) and his rx-7 back then.I guess I'm old.LOL.

have you been in a car with one of those GIANT rear view mirrors, i believe they are called "broadway mirrors" but i'm not 100% on that...a friend of mine had one in his eclipse and you could literally see in every direction both in and around the car from any seat. they are incredible, and they don't look like shit =)

a "broadway mirror" is just a bigger rectangle mirror that sits on top of the stock mirror...
these are called 4 panel mirrors or in this case, 5 panel..depending on how many mirrors it has or a "wink mirror". they are def old school!

[slammed4thgen]

i have one also, i love it.



i left the oem mirror in for something to hang my air freshners on lol.

but unlike lummie, i dont have vibration issues with mine
