Which Rear View Mirror?
coozer - 30/3/10 at 06:46 PM

Looking for a rear view mirror that functions so I can see whats going on behind...

Fancy one of THESE but confused by the flat or convex choice.

Which is the best for good rear view vision??

And anywhere else I can get it cheaper???

Convex will give a panoramic view, my old lexus had one, was weird to start with, but did eliminate blind spots compared to a flat mirror.

I have just bought a (17" longacre) one that attaches to the roll cage.

I dont think your link works. I had one of these but sold it when I crashed my car. I cant see it working on anything than a full caged car full screen.
It worked really well and would fully recomend one. It did not look strange or confusing to use and void any use of wing mirrors!!

The one that I replied that I had on your other post re centre mirror, is a convex racetech one... I am not going to be using it, if you are interested? (it's new)
