I hope i don't see anyone with civic/integra inspired user name on a subbie fourm.....oops too late. lol.. hehe

haha its like ppl buying broadway mirrors in replace of their oem rear mirror. same kind of fad. However, I would imagine those "Wink Mirrors" to be actually more useful in seeing your blind spots. Hell, i don't think you'd even have to turn your head when changing lanes anymore hah..

I have a Broadway mirror. I actually like the wide-view-ness of it though.

Kinda funny about the multi-mirror thing being "JDM". The only things I have seen those on have been VWs and Golf carts.

We have a few beat up '90s Civics with those on them around here. It's so ridiculously tacky.

The broadway mirror has no business in the same sentence as these POS multi mirrors. It has a function and doesn't' look like *** and belong in a 1973 super beetle.

Anyway yeah, those long mirrors were for one thing and one thing only: Watching yourself tap that girl in your back seat back in 1980. I know. I was there.

No, I'm not I hated having to pop that thing off to wash the rear window of our Celica. The point of the picture on a current car is that they are still around.
