I put a 1 or 2" little convex mirror on ALL of my cars outside mirrors down in the lower corner. I have done it for 20 years and hate driving other peoples cars w/o them.
Have used the same mirrors on my other cars and trucks also. Looks a little funny on the S but does the trick.

Just don't forget that with the convex mirror you'll have to mentally compensate for the depth perception change. It's not that drastic, but give yourself a week to get used to it. I've had mine now for 2 weeks and fell much safer changing lanes on a crowded freeway.

Good Luck!

Does it really say 'Level' on it? If so, no thanks. Other than that, looks nice.

I've had the Muz supplied mirror for a while now. Love it! The beauty of the Muz one is that it is OEM in some countries. Muz got this in his inventory because we asked him to originally.

I purchased Muz' mirror as well . No more blind spot . It took the tiniest of getting use to the "motion" of cars passing in the other direction on a 2-way street. With the convex mirror, the opposing car just whizzes by in the mirror. I have never, in 2 years now, had a "close call" and that says a lot with the blind spot this car has with top up.

I always wanted one, but I was afraid that I wouldnt get used to it. Anyone have a pic of the mirror itself? Is it split down the middle?
