Blind spots in the RX 7's
Even though the RX 7's have alot of glass in the rear,we still have a few blind spots.So I was searching online,talking with a few people.Then someone mentioned the broadway mirror.
I did a search for one cheap,ordered it and it came in today.
This is not the actual pic,but it gives you an idea.
The first gen RX 7s mirror suck so bad,when I put this in today,I can see my rear side windown,all the way up to the passenger window,ONLY thing that is bad,is the depth perception of the mirror.
Its going to take time to get used to this.
Anyone else here use one?
I almost came close to getting one of them oldschool 7 panel "wink" mirrors but this works great,and id recommend it.

That pillar is thoe nly thing i can see as a blind spot as a fc, but i have my side mirrors adjusted to compensate for it.
How does the mirror look while your driving? Do notice it? it looks really big compared to stock. It would drive me crazy if im constantly seeing it out of the corner of my eye while im driving.

Well it is longer than stock,
It does drive me a little crazy cause of the depth perception,
Things seem farther away
In this mirror,
I can see myself,
Passenger window,
to the back of the car.
My mirror is 310 mm long,convex shaped for the wide angles.
It has small LED,lights,so when the cell phone rings,they flash.
Heres the mirror I got,I got it in "smoke"
I might buy one more for my other first gen.
