Default My latest, minor mod (no pictures, car is too dirty from days of non-stop rain)

I got a full size passenger mirror for my car, already in red, for $65 shipped. The housing is in perfect condition, the glass has very minor rusting, maybe .5% of the bottom right corner. When it finally rusts up and the heater stops working, I'll get the Euro blind spot mirror.

Installation was simple. Just had to remove the plastic cover, door panel, and one bolt. Heck, the hardest part was putting the door panel back, no thanks to the stupid door lock. On that note, what a stupid and worthless part for the car. I should find a way to plug the hole and just remove it for good.

I never did realize how much more you can see with a bigger mirror there. I don't really use it when driving, but it's a boon for backing up.

Worth every penny.

Default I know of a great mod to go with that, and it's free...

Take a razor blade to the fake stickers on your car... that way you don't obstruct the view from your new mirror :-)

Default Just get a Broadway from a Korean Mart and stick it over your rearview. You won't even need side

mirrors anymore.
