broadway mirror?

[s0ldats]

hey everyone...i'd like to know your opinion on those wide angle convex mirrors made by napolex. are they useful? do they do their job? are they high quality?

thanks

just got one. Mine is Broadway. it's a 300mm. it really does its job but u sacrifice some perception distortion in order to see a wider range. Things in the mirror may be closer than they appear. And you can see it when you look at yourself in the mirror too. I think the 300mm is a bit large(but it was given to me as a christmas present), so id go for a 270mm. I really like mine. It takes a while to get used to it , but I'm sure I will.

I have a small problem of it shaking on the freeway. Anyone know how to make this stop?

I can also check out my hair in the rear view

I have the mirror but doesn't have the problem of it vibrating. It just snaps over the oem mirror. I love the mirror btw.

did you guys get the convex one or the flat one?

[bruinbear714]

I got the 270mm convex mirror... and yes objects appear further with that mirror, however, you can see the rear with a wide angle. It extends past the side windows.

Are those the mirrors that are one long piece with angled sections? Do you guys have a link or pic or something?

[bruinbear714]

Nope, its a continously curved mirror. You can also buy the flat mirror. It won't have the objects appear closer than they are look, and it also won't have the wide angle view. Simple laws of physics.

is the flat one worth getting, or should i just go with the convex? none of the stores near me will let me exchange them since they're imported from japan.

i have a niken convex one. really large, really nice, but it does take a little getting used to. it was very trippy driving with it on for a few days, but the added sight and angles is very helpful.

I would recommend the 270mm convex, it's not too obnoxious but still useful; esp with your blind spots. Beware of your sun visors knocking it off. I hated it when a passenger would pull the visor down and knock my mirror out of the way, but I got a new windshield and had my mirror relocated, so i dont' have that problem anymore.

i dont have the problem with the mirror hitting my visors and i have the biggest 300mm one. it clears it just enough, but my friend has that problem. shouldnt be a problem onthe s13s, tho.

well, yea it still vibrates. i have the broadway one by car buddy if that helps. whatever, ill just deal with it.

[240Degrees]

yea definitely get the convex one. im sure a normal flat one would look exactly the same as stock... just bigger.... boooooring!!! besides, its something new if u get the convex one. it takes time getting used to, but its really cool spotting a car in your blind spot by just looking in the mirror.

[s0ldats]

convex it is then

[Just another 240]

i have one, and it's cool...but it was annoying for the first few dayz, cause when i park and stuff ..things just seems soooo close!
