Zoom engineering mirror. I love my cf Monaco mirror.

2nd vote on the Zoom Engineering mirrors.
Best looking ones and direct replacement!

I got the TS version:

I have never seen/used a blue mirror before. You like it? What about the dimming feature? What is it about it you like so much?

The blue helps to reduce glare, as my car is lowered and every car behind me has their headlights aimed at my mirrors I used to always be blinded. The convex makes it a wider field of view, great for seeing over my shoulder and reduce blind spots. I also have the blue convex side mirrors

1. Carbon fiber with OEM look.

2. The blue tint reduces glare.

3. Mirror is convex so you see a wider angle.

4. Direct replacement.

On the Spoon mirror and other convex mirrors - I've heard the wider view only gives you a better view of the car's interior, while making distant cars (ie cops) harder to see. Truth?

I don't have any issues with my convex making it harder to distinguish other vehicle types from one another.

All convex mirrors make the vehicles behind you look "different" and maybe smaller in size. The curve on the Spoon rear view mirror isn't overly crazy though.

When I bought my car it came with a blue convex mirror on the driver side, I removed it because I didn't like judging the approaching speed of vehicles that were behind me in the left lane. I thought it was dangerous in that regard and I would not have a convex mirror on the driver side for that reason.

I have a auto-dimming Gentex with Homelink as an alternative option for sale. Brand new with a plug and play harness. PM me if anyone's interested. It's also posted in the marketplace.

Are there any options similar to the broadway mirror that don't have a logo on the glass?

I got my S with no mirror. I got used to it pretty quickly (having been on a bike with only one side mirror for 4 years). I thought about replacing it, but thought that it would take away the very little viewing space I already had (I am 6'2"). So I just roll without it. I feel like I can see enough without it, just using the side mirrors.
