Default Clip-on rear view mirror

Hi

Does anyone know of a company that sells a 240MM-270MM flat rear view clip-on mirror? The mirror is a good quality and it uses a 2 spring load clips to attach onto the stock mirror. The clips aren't cheezy, their surprisingly strong. Thanks in advance.

^^^ like said above. i have the RAZO 280mm i think. (i forget exactly the size) the only drawback is that while driving, the mirror vibrates a lot and thus makes it blurry. other than that, it's awesome.

If you're in SF, go to Jtown. That little mall area has that store (cant remember the name). They carry those in all sizes.

If your looking to get fancy i carry the Valor rearview mirror with built in 5.1 color video/backup camera screen ,two speakers built in, wireless remote and the video camera also color all for 359.99 shipped to your door. For references on how it looks and works contact www.evildaveonline.com he is a moderator here on s/l and one of my sponsored rides on www.scionpro.com. It clips right over the existing mirror...it freaks people out when they see it in my xB because they have never seen one before. I like the wide angle camera you can see three lanes behind you when your driving. I have my dvd player hooked to it also for the shows.

Doesn't an extra-wide mirror preclude using the sun visors?

This set up does not interfere with the sunvisors at all.

Default Thanks guys!

Razo! Thats the company I got my original one and yeah, the shaking of the mirror does suck. Does anyone know if the Broadway brand shake also?

I'm not looking to get anything fancy.

I got rid of the visor issue on the drive side by moving the clip-on as far right as possible, I'm hoping a shorter one fix the issue with both visor.

_eE_ Where about in Jtown is that shop, otherwise I'll buy it online.

Thanks again, guys.

shake isn't too bad. It's kinda noticable, but not really.

Default mirror shake

The shaking can be minimized by tightening down the screw at the back of the factory mirror. It worked on mine pretty well. Its not totally gone but it is bearable.

Default mirror padding

Mine has 1mm thick padding backed by rubber and it definitely helps so try that too.

I have one with built in bluetooth and back up censors built into it. It also has dual digital displays in it to show the call ID and the distance you are from the closest thing near you.
It also does not make any "vibrate" noise.
