On a Bronco, the corner of the hood is a blind spot for exactly the things that matter off-road: the front tire, the obstacle beside it, and the vehicle behind you in a group.
The OMU Genesis Series Hood Side Auxiliary Mirror mounts there. The body is forged aluminum with carbon fiber on the base crossbar, and the mirror face is treated to resist water spots and dust.

What a Hood Mirror Is For
This is not a styling part. The listed use cases are practical ones: monitoring terrain to the side and rear while climbing or crossing, judging the distance between your tire and an obstacle on a rock section, keeping an eye on other vehicles in the group, and giving you a forward camera angle when the trail gets extreme.
If you drive solo on graded roads, you probably do not need it. If you wheel in a group or pick lines through rocks, you will use it every trip.
Forged Aluminum and Carbon
The main body is forged aluminum, which the manufacturer lists as 50% lighter than a traditional mirror with twice the torsional strength. Less weight on a hood-mounted arm matters, because that arm sees vibration all day.
Carbon fiber accents on the base crossbar are molded under heat and pressure. The mirror surface itself is treated to keep water spots and dust from building up, which is the difference between a mirror you can use and one you have to wipe.
Fits With the Hood Trail Sight
This mirror is designed to work alongside the matching hood trail sight. Run them together and you get a layered setup at the front of the hood rather than a single mirror on an otherwise bare panel.
The bracket and swing arm follow a clean, balanced line, and the mirror back carries a 360° CNC-engraved emblem.
Installation
The mirror mounts to the hood using the vehicle's mounting provisions. It does not require cutting the hood panel.
Set the angle with the vehicle on level ground first, then fine-tune it with the wheels turned so you can see what the mirror is actually showing you at the obstacle.
