Cool Ever heard of a wink mirror? well here it is

Apparently Wink mirror were big in the 60's and 70's but i've never seen one in person. They started as a trend in central and south America and only made it to the US for a short period of time. I spotted them on other forums i'm part of and thought it would be a cool application on the disco. Just got all the parts fabed up and attached the mirror. Could use a little bit of touching up and adjusting but I'd say it looks pretty awesome. Gives a full 180 degree view behind you also

I have a panoramic mirror that clips over the old one, looks alot better and you don't have to be wearing plaid pants and a polo to use it.

hahaha yeah mirrors don't help old people drive better.
and yes these are commonly found on golf carts aren't they?
Well imma rock it anyways! It really doesn't look as cheesy in person though. My original mirror broke anyways... Just one more thing that makes my disco more unique than yours
