that's the same concept as wat comes with the craftsquare mirrors. it is wide angle view, thus no need to shoulder check. one does need to learn how to know distance though as objects in mirror ARE much closer than they appear.

no, it's manual. once i got it setup, i rarely change it so it's not a problem for me.

the down side is if this is going on a dd, if you lock it down at the position you like (race mode they call it) and someone bumps it with their fat arse or purse, it could potentially break the mirror. it's not a fragile mirror, but a big enough bump who knows.

I drive my car mostly on wkends... maybe once or twice during the week. But i ride hard so I rather just have durable shyt on my car... But the overall design of the craftsquare is pretty nice...

it's durable enough for GT races so any street driving/weekend road course/auto-x you might be doing is not going to affect it at all... well, unless you crash. but thats a different story.
