I use the little ones for Autozone etc. They are not glass, but I have used them for years on all of my cars and have only had 1 come off the 2nd day I put it on. Other then that, they have worked fine.

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.
Was taught this by my dad when I learned to drive. Never had any problems and that includes the S with the top up (which is rare in itself for me. LOL)

Works like a charm.

Side mirror regulations in the US suck. In Europe, even cheap cars come with side mirrors that eliminate blind spots.

Mirrors have a dotted vertical line towards the outer edge, at which point, the image curves down and shows you your blind spot. You can see the back of the car, and the blind spot at the same time.

I imagine the stupid US mirror regulation is there because the image size changes with convex mirrors, the same reason we have the stupid warning written the the middle of the mirror on the right side...

S has a Huge blind spot...

I have the spoon mirrior and i like it alot. I also like that they are slightly tinted blue.

I like them because as soon as a car leaves the rear view it appears in the sideview. Its nice and smooth and makes checking very easy.

the muz/jdm mirror is by far my best mod. the stock mirror doesn't adjust wide enough for me.

without the muz/jdm mirror, i have a huge blind spot over my left shoulder when top-up and i know how to properly adjust my mirrors.
