    Used both but also prefer the convex. One of the Winks I had was too close (because of the cage I couldnt mount it further away) and I had trouble seeing all of the panels

    First race car I used a Wink. I liked it fine. Fpr my current car I bought one and it just didn't work for me. I found a convex one and mounted it to the stock mount and it works great.

    You're exactly right Mike. Mickey won't need a mirror, everything will be in front of him.

    Ever had a wink panel come unglued in the middle of a corner? Somewhat distracting.....as in WTF was that?!!? That said, we've had winks in all our cars....except the one Steph took to Thompson a couple weeks ago. Had taken the wink out of it so the cage guy could make brackets in the proper place in the HP build. Forgot to put it back in! She didn't like it that way! Found a speed shop close that had a wide convex, she liked that and seems to prefer it over the wink. We use 6 inch truck convex mirrors for the side mirrors and love 'em.

    Convex mirror in mine. wish I had a different one. Depth perception is crap, so it's hard to tell is someone is near my rear corner or beside me.
