do it up. i need to get another hardwire kit for my v1 for the jetta at some point. ive never been hassled for it for obstruction of view, so its fine 
i always see people with assloads of junk on the mirror too. how they dont get pulled over all day, i have no clue. must be a lot of stereotyping going on, younger guy driving = get on the shoulder son and get ur wallet out.
