Blind Spot Gripes...

mojojonjon · 06-19-2009, 09:02 PM

I nearly bumped into somone the other day and i knew they were there. i was trying to move to the right lane from center, and i thought maybe they just turned off, sure enough they were still there. I finally decided to install small convex mirrors on the near corners of the outside mirrors. they work amazing. i thought they would look ugly but they dont look bad at all. my first idea was to install some small cameras looking outside the blindspot windows, that was too much wiring and work. settled on the mirrors.

were these the stick on convex mirrors?
when you say the "near corners", do you mean the inside or outside corners
was thinking of putting these on also, but not sure if they would actually improve vision, does it really improve blindspot vision that much?

ya these are the stick on, but be very careful because they're VERY sticky. and as far as the near corners, ya i guess inside corners would be more understandable. I've noticed a huge difference in blind spot visibility. it took about 4 days to get used to the new view, but i find myself rarely looking at anything other than the convex mirrors. they're only there to make sure i'm not bumping into someone.
