Has anyone used the Cipa Extreme mirror? <BR><a href="http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?r=view&amp;i=33592&amp;aID=28F&amp;cID =FROOGLE_33592" target="_blank">http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?r=view&amp;i=33592&amp;aID=28F&amp;cID =FROOGLE_33592</a> <BR> <BR>If so is it worth the extra $$ over a standard 14" x 7" mirror. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wakeside.com/product/boat/wakeboard_tower_accessories/wakeboard_tower_mirrors/skylon+comp+universal+waterski+mirror+2008.do" target="_blank">http://www.wakeside.com/product/boat/wakeboard_tower_accessories/wakeboard_tower_mirrors/skylon+comp+universal+waterski+mirror+2008.do</a> <BR> <BR>Just trying to get some feedback before i spend the cash. Thanks,

I have one of the narrower mirrors from CIPA, a compII I think (not an extreme but close to the same dimensions) and I DO NOT like it compared to a typical CIPA comp style. I run it on my windshield sometimes, but I usually just leave it off and use my tower mounted comp. <BR> <BR>Even though the mirror has the same reflective dimensions, it doesn't seem to have the same viewing as the comp. I don't know if it is due to the increased distortion or what, but it isn't my preference.

I like the extreme mirror. I can adjust the wing mirrors to view the rider at all times. With the standard 14x7 I couldn't see the rider on a wide cut. <BR> <BR>I would say its worth the $20 extra.

anyone else use the extreme mirror with an opinion?

I just got an 08 X15 that came with the standard mirror. Had the extreme mirror on my 06 X2. One day after using the standard mirror, I went back to the dealer and switched them out. Hands down the extreme mirror gives you more visual of the rider from all angles.

i love that extreme mirror... is there a arm for that fits a 2" tower ?

There is an arm for your tower. Samson sports makes an awesome one that I have. <BR> <BR>I love the Extreme and would never go back to the other.
