Default Broadway rearview mirror?

i have searched and did not find any topics in relation to comparisons for these mirrors in relation to mm/length/concave/flat/blue tint?
i noticed some S owners have these and would like to know what your recommendations are, which one is the best for the S, if you have one of these mirrors please let me know what you think of it thanks.

I had the 270mm wide version. I moved it to my beater CR-V because the way it vibrated too much with bad roads and under hard acceleration.

If you still wanted one I suggest you get the flat version, the wide version will distort distances al la "Objects in rearview mirror may be closer than they appear!"

I use a 270 convex in my 02 and it is OK. It vibrates as others have noted, and when I hit expansion joints on the freeway at speed, it sometimes adjusts itself down due to the weight. The great thing is that the 270 allows you to still use the visors. The 300mm will not and since it is heavier I think it will be even worse as far as vibration. If I had to do it again, I would go with a 240.

I don't think so,.... but that is my take. I have used the concave version for almost 15 years. I used to have to ask people who were going to Japan to get them for me since, until about 8-10 years ago they were not all that common. You get used to the "objects are smaller than they appear" effect of the concave mirror and it give superior coverage.

I angle it so it removes my right side blind spot. I have seen some people angle it so they can see themselves .
