Default Broadway Rear View Mirror

Installed one on my XB.....But I found that 240MM is not really wide enough So I'll give to my son for his Subie......Will order 280MM with crome Tint It fits over Orig............It really cuts down on glare...........Like HID lights.........Ebay for 11Bucks...+ship=As much as mirror

My girlfriend bought me one of these for my 2006 xB... it didn't fit quite right... kept falling off... little scary.

Anyway- it works great on my 08. Easy upgrade to visibility.

Your right about that man......The top of mirror is kind of wide.......The attach won't extend all the way over So I will use a little silicone on the rear to secure.....You can also use a little velcro on the back of mirror.........This way you can remove if you sell car............Hell! for 10 bucks leave it on But there is an issue with it being secure

So does the Broadway mirror just clip onto the existing mirror or does the original come off and the broadway install in it's place?

I got the 270mm and I love it, but I wish I wouldve gotten the 300mm instead.

360mm is just TOO big lol...

oh misread...

H.I.D. BROADWAY Flat. The B comes with privacy glass so I didnt need the 2x. The tint blocks enough of the light so Im not bothered. And I dont like the whole "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" so I went with the flat.

the only difference I could find was that the brighter mirror has no tint on the mirror, so if your windows are/will be tinted this is the mirror to get. You will get reduced glare from your window tint, not from the mirror.

I would buy the one your looking at...you'll like it.

hope this helps.
