|

OK, so I definitely want to get one, and I am just about to order it. But (and I know this is going to sound stupid) I don't know what size to get. 270mm or 300mm? Or something else?
Thanks in advance for your help! |

| yeah 270 is like perfect. 300 makes everything just a tad smaller. Get the convex one! |

| I have the 270mm in black chrome and now I know why people say they can't live without it! Go to Tweaked Ice and say that I sent you to them. They might be able to get you a good deal on that mirror :) |

Nice! The first day I used it I got a headache since you focus on a different area on the mirror plus its convex but now I'm used to it :) Can't live without it :rofl:
Didja get the black chrome or another finish? The black chrome matches my theme very well :) |

Yes, I got black chrome.
To be honest the blind spots have never really bothered me a lot (I used to drive a Honda Element and that has SERIOUS blind spots), but I think it will be a good thing. |

I drove with a full set of passengers yesterday in busy city freeway driving and it has become apparent that I need one of these... excellent resource there.
Just ordered one. |

| I have the 270, and it's perfect. Any wider and it just looks dumb. |

The mirror came in today from Tweaked Ice, and it looks great.
Thanks again for the help, ChelsDS et al! |

I also have the 270mm - takes a bit getting use to in the beginning (convex) but it's great otherwise.
No more blind spots!! (also have the convex side view mirrors from tweaked ice as well) |

| Mine showed up today too... as well as my cargo cover and trunk mat (it was sort of like Christmas... my wife was not amused). Looks good, but I can see how it will take some getting used to. |
