The Wink mirror has been a standard for lane-changing demons for long over thirty years; my former brother in law stuffed one in a Pinto.

I've thought about one, tho' I don't run that much traffic, which is their main purpose.

How do they work at night? Most of you guys never drove a car WITHOUT a day/night mirror; unless there is some provision for night use, you'll end up blinded and having way too much information.

you will go blinded at night I'm looking for a way to tint the mirrors some how maybe the blue tint will work IDK yet.

 

Blinded? I've had them on all of my cars since the '70's and I don't get "Blinded at night." Have you used one before? Did you buy the Wink brand? The panels on my Wink brand mirrors do not seem to reflect any harsh, blinding rays of light. ...Maybe my eyes aren't as sensitive as your's.
As for putting a blue tint on you mirror, hmm... That might look pretty good though!

 

so, i got the mirror up in the car tonight. i don't know why ppl were saying it can't be done without ruining the headliner, or drillin holes or this and that. it was a pretty simple job. i'll have more pics up tomorrow when i get home from work. its dark, i was able to snap a pic of it before i left my buddies place. i took pics for the DIY, i'll have them posted in another thread tomorrow. so far, i love it. i'll be in more detail as the days go on.

 

 

Winks are [Cl9lover] - Get a Broadway.

 

cuz i'm worried about what you think. lol. got anything good to contribute to this thread?

 

Yea - Winks are [Cl9lover] :P

I just hate the cut offs from mirror to mirror... Cant stand it... I however love the 440MM broadway I have, Ive used it in 5 vehicles and cant go without one now haha! Plus I can still flip it down if the vehicle behind me is blinding me!

 

basically... all treands come and go just to eventually come back. couple years watch... mc hammer pants are coming back x: LOL

 

I replied to this thread because another thread (newer one) links to here. Just adding some knowledge.

I don't like winks, nor broadway mirrors. I use the below. Read about them. really nice. and if you but the wink Oem like mirror mount, you can not rig your visors and such, works JUST like oem.







The ALLVIEW Mirror System | SEE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING!(TM)

 

I hate you JCrim......just kidding. But now I think I'm trading my wink in for that.

Nice find!

Wonder how it will mount without a rollbar...

 

haha funny stuff.

heres how i had it mounted BEFORE my cage. looked clean and oem.

see the screw hole on the back?


remove those brackets. now buy this with it



TADAA! oem and clean!

does not move, fall, shake. I even tracked like this. great stuff.

see how clean below



so clean, I passed that lambo ^_^ baller mirror = +1000HP

 

now thats a mirror. lol. i still stand by my wink mirror.

 

i Love how wink mirrors look haha.
i dont think im ready to tackle buying one yet though,

 

I used the windshield mounting kits instead, looks a little cleaner since the OEM visors are still in place. The only thing is that when the visors are down, you can't see anything out of the wink.

 

I love the look of the wink. Is there any damage to your stock visors? If i did the install and hated it would i be able to reinstall the stock stuff?? Thanks for the pics. Im going to order mine and if i like it....... i will let the sticker bomb begin.. WAAAAHAAAAHAAAHAAA

 

if i took my wink town, and wanted to put the visors back in....no problem. they just snap in, and turn.

 

Thanks..... Im can order mine now..

 

As a really old guy, I can remember putting Winks in cars in the 70's. Cab drivers used them in New York. Robert Winkelmann invented it. You might have to fab your own brackets to stiffen them up enough to stop the vibration, and use the tripod system as discussed above.
