Skymall, you got me again

Have you used that before, or anything like it? They have been selling mirrors like that in the junk isles of stores for as long as I can remember, there's a reason there isn't any OEM's using them. I've tried them and never liked them, I find them to be even worse on cars with limited visibility. It doesn't make the window or viewable area any bigger it just makes the viewing area bigger. So you see more of the sides of the window, and they make everything look smaller.

But if you want to give it a shot you can usually find them in the auto parts stores for much less money

Use the proper mirror set-up method that eliminates blindspots. You still have to guess how close you are to objects behind you when you are parking for example, but having the side and rearview mirrors adjusted to cover the outside lanes works great. Do a search, it has been discussed here before.

Also, if someone tries to steal your Z, you can beat the shit out of them with that large club masquerading as a mirror.

The lines you could do off that mirror would kill an elephant.

Think I'd rather invest my money in the video recording sunglasses also advertised there.
