** RICE ALERT ** Wide Rear view mirror

[NightKids]

Which one do you guys use? I was thinking of picking up this brand called Napolex Broadway. Not sure if I should buy blue or the silver one. The silver one apparently reduces glare at night a bit which I think I need !

I used a 270mm curved blue one and found at night I couldn't see anything on a dark street, but that's because I have dark tint on my rear window and the "blueness" is to help against people high beaming etc. meaning the tint is amplified. The curve helps you see more, but it does make things seem further away, thus losing more detail. I now have a 270mm flat 2x (not HID like the one above, but brighter I believe) and it's good since I prefer having things look "normal" and I can see better at night behind me.

the blue tinted one is a bit hard to see during night use. That's just from my personal experience.

Oh cool lucky I asked here first...

The silver one has like an aluminium tint over it. Is that one a problem?

[M@lew]

I think that's how it lets "more light" at night, therefore being able to see better.

WTH does HID mean anyway? Thought that was headlight technology!

I just went out & measured my stock one & it's 24cm. I'm thinking of going the 300mm one (30cm).

There's even a 360mm one as well! I mean I do want a bit of extra vision but don't wanna look ridiculously stupid! What do you guys reckon?

[M@lew]

I reckon 270mm is a good size. Keep in mind you won't be able to open your visor-things to block the sun without hitting your mirror.

[NightKids]

Aww yeah forgot about that! Hmmm 270mm doesn't seem that much bigger though...

I'm gonna take out my ruler & measure it again... LOL

[MWAKU]

this mirrors are hectic, my mate has em, can see so much and they look bling too LOL

[slimx]

if u got tinted windows just get the clear..

if u got no tint, then go for the blueish one.

Apparently the convex (curve) ones you can see heaps better but you'll see your own reflection all the time. Don't think I can stand that so I guess I'm going the flat ones.
