    This is how to install a wink mirror into a mz3/ms3, it's really easy to do

    first, a few pros and cons about a wink mirror
    pros
    you can see everything!
    cons
    no dimming feature for late at night when an ass hole is blinding you from behind
    blocks a little viability, I find my self having to look under it a bit, mostly up at stop lights
    fogs up sometimes on cold mornings



    pick up one of these from oreilly's for 19.99

    no other brackets are needed

    it just gets mounted with the screws in the sun visors with the brackets it comes with
    this is the drivers side

    and this is the passenger side

    it barely clears the lights and stuff as you can see here

    but it makes it
    this is what mine installed looks like

    it replaces your rear view mirror and makes you see everything!
    it's supposed to make it so you no longer have blind spots

    seems excessive.

    there are panorama mirrors that aren't any larger than a normal rear view?

    i guess it's not for me, but if you like it then more power to you.

    Let It Rock - knew I knew it.

    I've always liked the concept but never installed one. Would eventually like to try one sometime but on a short little RX I don't think I'd even be able to see a stoplight from where you're supposed to stop at the intersection.

    More power to ya though, looks good!
