Hey, I'm really interested in one. How easy is it for others to see your turn signals flashing during the day with one of these on?

What about the mirror covers? I have some other brand covers and they cover about 50% of the viewing area of the mirror. Do yours have the same elastic cord that goes around the mirror opening? How about a picture of that side of the installed cover?

If you take a credit card, you can stuff the mirror mask around the glass mirror for a snug looking fit!

Also, here's a tip for everyone with one of these nose masks. I use a door clip remover (looks kind of like a weed puller with a screw driver handle on it, but used to remove the plastic door clips) to remove my nose mask from the snaps. I just take the tool and place it on the snap and twist it. No pulling on the snap, risking tearing it off! I can post a picture if needed....

I ordered mine when I first read the thread a few weeks ago. The mask arrived within days!!!
Had some problems with the screws/snaps and Jim was excellent about checking with the manufacturer in regards to a solution. They recommended that I back out the screws a bit until they align with the clips and it solved the problem.
In the past I would have to spend about 30-60 minutes cleaning off the bugs after taking the car for a spin out on some country roads.
This past weekend drove around for about 5 hours. When I got home I was able to take the mask off in about 20 seconds, and all I had to clean up was the windshield!!!
Good investment IMO.
