ya they sometimes are but if u wrap it with fabric like i did than it looks pretty good.

awwww dont be scared, ya the mirror is remarkable, i love how easy it is to see, i love to see people giving it a try, i mean its only 20 bux for the mirror if u decided to not like it then u didnt spend very much, but ya u can see everything and anything without turning ur head an inch

i dont think i have to worry about that, but ya no one knows how usefull these mirrors are until they see one in a car, i wish i could show u guys somehow

How does the mirror operate at night? Do you just tilt it so you're not blinded?

Same here. I loved the mirror but couldn't deal with the shaking or all of the times I hit a bump and it practically falls and faces down. Sticking with stock for now.

If u guys Do it like it did it wont shake very much wat so ever and it works great once u have it solid. But hey u guys can give up all u want. I just wanted to get something that works great to work right, and not just give up.

you also drilled into the headliner and there was no way that i was about to do that, no matter how much i wanted the mirror. Plus it got in the way a little when i was at stop lights and such. Dont get me wrong i do like the mirror, just decided that oem with a broadway will be better for me.

i didnt drill into the headliner? well i did but you dont have to, just get smaller srews that dont penetrate the other so they dont make holes in the headliner.
