What I am thinking is that are the connector universial? Seems like most wink mirrors have more than one connector.

Do they still make the chrome louvered panels for the back side of the wink mirror?

Had one of these on my 1981 Corolla 3TC project. It drew as much attention from people as the sound of a cammed 3TC, lol. I do like these mirrors, but I feel I would have to go full retro inside to make it "fit" with the car. But that's just me.

Now give me a wood steering wheel and shift knob with the old school TEQ toyota emblems... that would be awesome with this.

It would be even cooler if it was frame-less IMO

Just get a car on a magazine cover with one, and it will be acceptable again. Dang internet has people afraid to go outside the "norm" with their mods. Heck, back in my minitruckin' days doing something no one else had was the goal.

I understand wanting to do something unique, but sometimes there are mods that shouldn't be done
