Sooo I got a new, huge blindspot today when my rear view mirror fell off on the way home. It was a very uncomfortable drive home, to say the least. Strangely though, less stressful than my normal commute since I couldn't see what ass holes were tailgating me today.

Anyway, any bright ideas on ways to fix it besides taking it to the dealer? Need some way to fix it now because I kind of can't drive without one. I taped it back on but that won't hold for long, considering how heavy the mirror is.

im sure a lot of you are itching to know how much power you have with all those mods

I'm down for a dyno tune day, if that's possible. I'm not running any engine mods so getting on a dyno would be useless, but I'd love a protune!

I believe they have glue kits for the mirrors at any auto store. Just make sure you glue the clip by itself and not with the mirror or it won't stick correctly. Curing does take 12-24 hours on some glues.

^this. but do it early in the morning and leave your car in the shade for at least a day or itll just fall right back off.

What kind of coilovers? I can do the install for a fraction of what a shop would charge

Haha I don't know what it says about our cars when we freak out about a used Sti loaner car that we all could've bought instead. If only it didn't get 15 mpg...

BlaineWasHere · 05-21-2013, 01:29 PM

It's my buddies car. He's replacing the studs for me at his shop but I still need to go make my sales calls! Lol.

but being a former WRX owner myself, there's no way I'm buying a used sti, I know all too well what owners do to those things (me included

)
