will a broadway mirror fit on an 03 tl-s?

read title. i did a quick search and some people said it won't fit due to our fatter rearview mirrors?

anyone have any success with them and what size? i just want to be able to see my blind spots without having to turn my head everytime.

im not too worried about losing the auto dim feature as im used to driving without it anyways.

they do not fit because they do not open wide enough...thank the auto dimming mirror for that.


the first thing i did when i got my tl was swap my broadway over to the TL from the impreza....it was a no go.

I think what they meant was that it's too tall for them to fit. I put mine out of the wagon I had and it's ok to me...it does show maybe a half of an inch at the top of the broadway....I don't really give a damn, I just care that I can see more behind and to the side of me...that's really all that matters.

my 300mm broadway mirror does not fit over my 02 rear view mirror because of the auto dimming crap, the little arms dont open up wide enough.

lol i agree, but so is following the posted speed limit.

i dont plan on solely relying on this mirror, but when im carrying passengers in the back, they block a lot of my rearview.

thanks for all the responses.
for those who bought one that does fit, what size/mfr did you buy it from?
