HAHAHA...TOO LATE

I was looking into getting one of these and I couldn't find any "reputable" companies that exclusively makes these mirrors.
They all claim that they:
Help reduce blind spots
Reduces glare
Images are brigther at night

I say just look on Ebay
or
Go to Google and type in something like "convex rear view mirror".

Google search BROADWAY rearview mirrors. Been using broadway for a long time now. Comes in sizes 200mm-300mm convex or non convex. And yes they do rid your blind spots. Instead of putting those little mirrors on your outside mirrors for blindspots these rearview mirrors greatly help. Hope that makes sense. Or check a local import racing shop ask for broadway its the most common used mirror I know of.

Price $15-30.00 thats tax+shipping included if you order on the net.

want to get rid of blindspots? Don't cover the same area twice. Get your rearview to see out the middle of the back window. Then space your side mirrors all the way out. Where the view of your rear mirror ends, your sides should begin. My mirrors are pointed as far out as they go and I have no need to look over my shoulder, all my spots are covered.

^^

hes right. most people angle there side mirrors so that they catch the edge of your car. if you push them out more you dont have any blindspots like you said. A guy in my club runs his mirrors that way. I havnt tried it yet.

I used to measure it out to the side of my car but my Drivers ed teacher told me to try the other way and I haven't switched back in 2 years. I still am driving my first car and never had a wreck. Can't be that bad
