Review on πŸ” CIPA 48852 8.5 Inch Stainless Convex HotSpot Mirror by William Bell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The case frame is rich in iron - questionable "stainless steel " percentage.

To avoid confusion, the body of the mirror housing is made of strong iron, so while it may be very poor quality stainless steel, it will rust over time. I suspect the seller is simply using the appearance of stainless steel as a selling point and relying on the lack of clarity to trick buyers into believing they are buying a durable product. Easy to install, good hard ball joint shouldn't drift. Good mirror finish. It's about the aging of the elements. There is no drainage hole. I was talking about drilling one. I hope the seal isn't leaking. Drilling a hole in chrome-plated mild steel is an invitation to a rusty party.

Pros
  • Durable Finish
Cons
  • Exorbitant Price
