updated new install towards bottom of page. Way better than it was. Trust me!


Heres my wink mirror install, people were asking how i installed it and here ya go, i wrapped it with the fabric for everything else too and it looks awesome! hope this helps guys!










heres one more addition to my interior.

 

i remember back in 91 my uncle had this mirror in his civic.... G'd up

 

ya i saw one at the jdmspeedworx meet on some car and i had to try it out, they work amazing for everything, i can see everywhere and feel so much safer, plus when u wrap it with something then it really looks cool

 

I hate my wink mirror, it vibrates like crazy and aims down whenever I hit a bump. Maybe cause its glued to the windshield and not mounted to the visors like you could with the GD's. I can't even tell what's behind me cause it vibrates so much. I wanna take it off and install a gentex mirror.

 

Try installing it like i did. That thing doesnt vibrate down one bit. Sure it vibrates a little when u have the stereo on or am driving on a bumpy ass road but it doesnt move one bit. Those windshield mounts are garbage. I couldnt do the windshield mount anyways bec i have window tint on the top of my windshield. You dont even need the middle bracket if u dont need it. But ya thats why i made this thread bec i want people to know that theres other ways to do this without those mounts. The mirrors are garbage if the move or vibrate too much but when u fix all the kinks theres no way id go without one.

 

Well the GE's don't use screws to hold in the sun visors, so there's no place to bolt the wink mirror too. The only place to install one on a GE is on the windshield unfortunately. I got that silicone glue all over my windshield too now man.

 

That looks great and it is functional as well as cool looking. Congrads! You did an awesome job.

Cat :x

 

Looks good. Does it get in the way of the visors though?

 

that sux man. Im sorry about that. I thought they were the same.

thanx man its the best one ive seen so far.

nope i have it so the visors work fine they just cant go all the way to the windshield. I never use em anyways.

 

Nicely done!

 

thanx man it took me awhile to get it nice but it works perfect!

yep i love this damn thing it works sooooooooooo good.

 

ok guys heres an update on my new setup. i extended the brackets and used the windshield mounts, OMG it works sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better, and you can 100% use the visors! YAYA!

 

I really do not understand these mirrors.

 

Hahahahahaha. Im guessing u never had one or ever seen one in a car. I never thought they were worth it until i saw it in a civic at a meet last year. Its soooooooooooo usefull and totally worth every penny to get it to work right. I love my mirror and wuld never go back. The stock mirror is useless to me now

 

sweet, where did you get all your stuff, i.e the mirror, all the brackets, windshield mounts, and whatever else you needed. thanks

 

i got the mirror from kragen, and the windshield brackets from there too, i got the brackets from lowes

 

im kind of a noob at that this kind of stuff. what kind of brackets would i say im looking for if i went to lowes or home depot?

 

i think the mirror is VERY UGLY....but i am sure it is very useful

 

I'm pretty curious of what kind of crazy peripheral vision you would be getting with this mirror. LOL. I have the regular broadway mirror, but the stock mirror is crap. You have to center it perfectly to see the whole rear windshield. I'd be scared to crash with this huge mirror in my car though =/.

 

definitely different, I like the broadway mirrors. To each his own though, I give you lots of credit for thinking outside of the box. Just don't confuse any school buses
