Personally I got the 240mm; IMO that is the best fit where from the outside, you can't tell it's their. But I think for the largest size you can get and still be able to use the visors, I say go with the 270

the size.. the coin pocket is easy to put in, just take out the fuse box cover below it and push the cap out from the back

I got the 240 mm and it's plenty wide enough for me.

I also got the model that's X2 brighter than a regular mirror so I could see out my limo tint back window better.

I don't know what technology makes a mirror twice as bright, but it works.

Yeah, that's the website I got it from.

I think it's very effective, because I can see out the back a whole lot better than before.

It uses aluminum for reflectivity.

Ya'know, if your side mirrors were aimed properly you wouldn't have the rear blind spot? My OEM mirrors show me everything except when the car is right next to my window or right next to the passenger window.

got 270mm, don't necessarily NEED it though. Might sell it and get the Mugen black rearview mirror cover I saw on ebay. Search for it, it's called "Mugen room mirror"

Anyone know of a Canadian location/site that sells this mirror? I would love to get the 240mm Blue Convex, but the US$20 mirror is going to cost almost CDN$50 by the time I get in my hands, after shipping ($18 - $23!)and currency conversion. Amazon.com won't ship this item to locations other than the lower 48 states, and that is the same with a few of the other ones. <sigh>

Do you need to mod anything for this mirror? Or do you just take off the factory one and out this one on?

Thanks for your post- I'm glad that I waited for more info. I was just about to order the mirror along with the squash air freshener, and didn't realize that there was the HID version.
