Default wide rear view mirrors

I think they call them broadways, but yeh anyone got one on their car?

I think 300mm is the size to go.

I dont mean to stereotype, but if you go to Toronto, you see them on every Asian persons' car! They're huge!!! The OEM size on my car is just perfectly fine.

I dont mean to sterotype, but since it expands your view of your blind spots, every Asian should be required to put one in their car.
KIDDING!

I dont have the dimming feature on my car and i don't think the oem mirror is wide enough for my liking.

Having wide mirrors does wonders to your viewing and they serve to prevent undue accidents so i cannot see negativity (nor riceness) about them.

For some it is the jdm thingie and lexus is from Japan so it should suit it.

I had a Broadway mirror on my old car. I think it would be out of place on a Lexus though. Like the others said you would pretty much render the auto dimming feature useless, not to mention blocking out your compass.

Bwahahaha!!!!!!!

But since you don't got Auto Dimming, Why not?

Who cares what others think. I find my mirrors perfectly fine. I had it on my last two cars, I LOVED it. But I missed the auto dim on my last car, so I took it off. I'm pretty much used to stock mirrors now.
