Wink Mirrors, is anyone rocking em? Options

[ilmatic]

Anyone here have wink mirrors? My friend got a spare BNIB and he is just handing it over to me... any reviews?

I feel as though there's nearly a century of trial and error behind the now near-perfect mirror hanging from my windshield. If the engineers had felt the need for a bigger mirror, they would put a bigger mirror in my car. Instead, they put a mirror in the car that allows me to see out of my entire rear window and maintain visibility through the windshield and as 95celicaST just said, I also still have the use of my sun visors. There's no reason in the world why I should see out of my rear window and then see my whole back seat, my whole forehead, my passenger's forehead, etc. Practicality is key. I'm sure people with Helluflushed cars can't figure out why other people don't like it.

I'm sure the engineers spent nearly a century of trial and error behind the now near-perfect cupholders and also felt that the cup holders are flawless as well in that it will never get in the way of shifting when you have 2 size Large drinks in them?(i've driven a buddies stick celi before and it was annoying) lol. I've never had any trouble dealing with sunlight with the wink mirror, nor has my passengers foreheads ever been in the way. it helps you see and be aware of a lot more when you're driving and you're also able to see your blind spots with it without having to turn your head(this doesn't mean i don't turn every now and then). It helps enhance and improve your awareness of your surroundings so I don't see any problems with that. It's functional, unlike hellaflush. I have no idea how you'd even compare the two. try to keep an open-mind. If you've had one before or drove another celi that has had one and you didn't like it, then I guess it just didn't work out for you. But if you're just saying this without ever experiencing it then..you should try it. lol. but in the end, it all goes down to the whole "different things work for different people, its not your car so let others enjoy and do whatever they want with theirs" sorta thing.
