Default Multi-Panel Rear View Mirror

After being bumped up into a faster run group for DE events, I found that I was looking in the rear view mirror as much as out the front windshield. I might benefit from one of the multi-panel mirror. Does anyone have has recommendation for one that would fit a '87 Carrera?

Thank you.

I have this one that I bought at Stable Energies

http://www.stableenergies.com/ALLVIE...tinfo/AV-1500/

I got the clip-on and it works fine....but I'll admit that I don't always use it because it's just another thing to take on and off (my car is also a street car).

The times that I have used it...it works very well !

Allview is much nicer than the multipanel mirrors IMO. Better frames of reference.

I've got the Allview as well. Like it better that the Longacre mirror. Still I find backing up with it risky.

I have used the Allview, the Longacre, 3, 4 and 5 panel Wink mirrors. I love the Wink as it gives a wide field of vision that is undistorted unlike the other two.

Keep the mirror you have and don't point them by. Done. Your welcome.
