Default Convex Side Mirror Replacement Glass

I know the little stick on blind spot mirrors have been discussed here a lot but I just discovered Amazon sells a full size convex passenger side lens (can't find driver's side). Has anyone here tried this?

Price is good, but zoom ones are perfect fit

In regards to the Zoom Engineering mirrors, can someone explain what gap this disclaimer is talking about?

"Note: These mirrors were designed for RHD vehicles, which come convex on the driver side. LHD vehicles will require extra double sided tape on the passenger side to cover the gap in between (extra tape not included). Failure to use proper mounting may result in the mirror becoming disconnected, causing damage to the mirror."

i think dere is a gab between the back of da lens and the base (or bracket for the lens).

our cars have convex mirrors on the passenger side, but driver side is not.
right hand drive cars have convex mirrors on the left (our driver side).

dis is why i said just get the JDM lens for the passenger side which is our driver side. den both sides will have the same convex lenses.

or just do it right from the beginning and get CS.
