I highly recommend them. No more blind spots or getting blinded by the cop's spotlight.

The improvement at night was why I did it. The con-vexed benefits are not worth the effort.

What a difference the blue tint makes.

Boiling water did the trick. 30 seconds made the putty like bubble gum. Spoon mirrors look so stock right now in the stock casing. I love them

back from the dead again -

For those who disassembled, is there any weight I could remove by eliminating the motor/wiring/etc? Or is that what holds the actual mirror in place?

because racecar of course.
