    Installed my Wink Rear view mirror today!(big pic)

    Man this thing is amazing, no more blindspots. I just took the car for a quick test spin, the mirror is taking some getting used to, but being able to see behind and beside your car is so nice. I pulled the front headliner section off and screwed the brackets to the body, then cut some slits for the headliner to slide around the mouting arms. Turned out very nice in my opinion.

    Interesting....

    It'd feel like I was driving a schoolbus.

              I've got a 350mm Monte Carlo now, and I can relate to this. I like the increase in steering effort and the slightly quicker feel, at the same time I like being able to make more subtle steering inputs with the larger wheel....This was especially useful while on the track.

              Diggin' the mirror Ely, I've had similar ideas lately.

                Ya well I figured I'd better add the mirror before it hits the track in october, with the roll bar it makes it very hard to see people in your blind spot on the left

                        for me it's a peice of cake, just unscrew the sun visors and clips, roll the sunroof back a little, and then undo the screw stip at the front of the sunroof opening(from unbove), lower the panel, etc... I was tempted to install it to the panel, with a steel backing plate on the other side but figured it wouldn't hold up.


                        The super AFC and the rich/lean meter are for a MAF setup that will be getting installed realy soon(have all the parts, but no time to install and tune). The engine is a budget minded 2.7i
