Wink Mirrors?

PostPosted: Mon Dec 20, 2010 4:43 am

Does anyone recommend them? I think they'd be a sick addition to my car.

I've seen quite a few people's builds on this forum w/ wink mirrors, and was wondering about some things:

How is installation? (Hard, easy, etc?)
How is visibility compared to just a mirror before?
How much space do they take up?

Any help is appreciated! :thumb:

Apologies for starting this thread, but that's the OG Wink Mirror thread on this site, I think.

I've decided to get the mirror but TAKE OFF my sun visors. I just don't need/use them whatsoever, and I've heard it bolts right into the holes where the sun visors go. :thumb:

Installing is super. Easy just take off ur visers and put the winks...
Visibility is great. Its almost like turning around and looking behind u

And space isn't much.. after u put the winks
:thumb:
Btw I wouldn't advise the whole visers and making brakets thing.. it just waisting time and money... cus the winks acts like visers anyways...
