    it's like 20" ish
    I was thinking I'd like it a little longer so I could see the left side more, but with my helmet on, it completly blocks the space between the roll bar hoop, and diag. I typically look out threw.

    edit...
    Here is the ebay link for the exact one I purchased


    The hardware for it was pure crap, and I had to make new side mounts as the ones included were too short for where I was wanting to mount it.

            Broadway convex mirrors do a damn good job while retaining stock appearance.

            270mm convex with black outlining, then use adhesive remover and a fingernail to get rid of the sticker in the corner, you're set.

              I found a picture online taken looking into a convex mirror, and the distances were all screwed up. Appearence didn't matter much to me, as my car basically is a barely street legal track car as it is.

                  That thing would rule on track days. Good luck on the MAF install!

                    Ya well I'm going to wait till after I go to Roadatlanta in 2 weeks to do the MAF. My fuel pressure regulator is pure crap, and I've got the apexi almost at it's max limits right now just to make the stroker not run so rich. So I got to bump the pressure down some.(guage says it's 70 psi, and won't change it no matter how much I adjust the regulator, I can raise the pressure but not drop it)

                      This thing would be awesome for the beltway but........

                      I can see people going: :crazy:

                      It's such a great idea, just not very common.

                        surprisingly advance auto has a convex mirror that works great. it clips over your existing mirror and works awesome. i agree, seeing blindspots and everything behind you is great. not to mention the one at advance is only like $6.
