Default Glass 2" Convex Mirrors

Has anyone been able to find a source for good quality (ie. glass) 2" convex stick-on mirrors to reduce blind spots? Before I drop ~ $70 on a MUZ/Spoon LH mirror, I would like to at least give this cheaper alternative a try.

you can also adjust your mirror to eliminate your blind spot until you are willing to spend the dough to buy the honda mirror. i did this and it is really helpful.

^ Thank You!!!

I don't understand why people can't do this or even realize this.... You don't need a convex mirror, especially in an S.

Only reason to need a convex is if you're driving a semi, passenger van, cargo van, bus, ect....

I hate the convex mirror on my 240sx, I would much rather have a normal mirror + a small blind spot mirror stuck on like my S, so I have the option to see with two different perspectives.

Convex mirrors are either for people who drive abnormally large vehicles, or for people who drive normal-sized vehicles but who don't know how to properly adjust their side-view mirrors

Once upon a time before getting one of the Australian wide-angle mirrors from Muz, I had a spot mirror. It worked OK, but the image was small and the reflective coating did not stand up well to the elements.

Bit the bullet and get the Muz and install it this summer. Popping off the old OEM mirror can be a hassle in cool weather.
