    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.

    worry about the guy in front of you not behind, once he gets his nose next to your door panel you'll know that he is coming and then you can react.

    Convex. Had both, but convex gives more of a panoramic view and doesn't rattle like my wink did, wish my street cars had convex.

    I will probably weld in the rear mirror into the cage bar.
