My new "Wink" Rear view mirror
I thought each of the pannels were adjustable. There not. Oh well alot better thans the Brodway mirror, I think theres some other panoramic mirrors that just attach to you rear view mirror. But I liked this one the best.
Real easy install also, I thought I'd have to drill the screws in the roof, but instead I removed the visors. Then I used the stock holes for the visors with the mounting brackets to see if it would line up. After a little bend in the mounting bracket it fit perfectly.

I've to admit, I've never seen that before, and that is friggin strange to me. Its almost like the inside of a tractor, its nice to see behind without staying turned around ALL day long..

As for the climate controls, I've got them on a remote location...

I still have one of those that made it in two of my Rx3's, a Rx2 and finally my first seven. Old School is right. Try circa 88 for my first one.
BTW, I thought it strange but I heard they were illegal in Ga

I'm 6'2" and even the standard mirror blocks my view, especially of cars entering the intersection from the right. So I saw it off flush with the light and mount an aftermarket mirror on the windshield hovering just above the cowl. Vast improvement!.

Nice job. Love the old school stuff.
just put my wink mirror in as well. I was able to keep my sun visors with the wink installed by just twisting the flat metal pieces that came with the kit. Easy to see all the traffic on the sides and behind you. How do yo like it so far? No more surprises.
