Default All View rear view mirror ???

Does anyone know where the heck I can buy these mirrors. No one seems to have them.

I hated the longacre, smooshed my vision of the cars behind me too much. Love the all view.

We use these cameras in lieu of mirrors and you can get some really wide angle ones that give you so much better vision and spacial awareness! Some of the cars we have run guys have used the smaller screens and located in the housings of their wing mirrors... great for enduros as you dont ever require having to adjust the mirror angle as the camera always looks to the same place... http://www.sharpvision.cn/car-rear-s...125D-cw655.htm

I like kiwidaves idea...
The big mirror really obscures vision on some uphill sections. Also very inconvenient when they vibrate loose and fall into your dash or won't stay in place and become a worthless distraction.
There's a reason the windshield is big and the mirrors small...

Default Allview mirrors

The allview mirrors are great. Don't get the one clips to the mirror. You will need the roll bar mounted one. Now, don't use the mounting tabs it comes with. You need a longacre long universal mirror mounts. These will move the mirror forward, help with the proper angle, keeps it up high out of your forward view. Takes a bit of fabricating, but well worth it. The longacre mirror is really not that good.
Problem. The manufacturer seems to be hibernating. No vendor has any on stock and no one knows when to expect them to come in. If you find any, let me know. I would be happy to put my hands on a couple...
Good luck!

Thanks dave, wish we could have done that there before the car came here to Cali. The car has really has cleaned up nice. Driving at Sebring in January in it.
Thanks again for everything
