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?
There is no split down the middle for the OEM one. It looks exactly like our passenger side mirror but without any writing on it.

I never got into that habit. I felt like the OEM mirror setup to me after a little while. I can't stand driving someone else's car with the stock setup anymore.

I thought about getting the OEM one too until I found out spoon made one for both sides with anti-glare. The Spoon mirrors rock!

Another option for getting rid of the blind spot is to adjust your side mirrors 'properly.' I used to adjust my side mirrors like I suspect 95% of people do, so I could see down the side of my car and get some view of what was behind me.

I've since started adjusting them further outboard so they pick up the stuff that my rear view mirror does not. This takes some getting used to if you're used to looking in the side mirror and seeing what is behind you, but after a few weeks you get used to it and don't have to deal with the blind spot at all. As a car moves out of your rearview mirror's view it comes into the side mirror view.

you can certainly do that with a normal car, but the mirrors on the S2000 don't go far enough for me. When I look at the driver's side mirror I see my tail...and this is with the mirror adjusted to the farthest point. I suspect this is the case for many people here.


I don't know if this matters, but I'm 5' 11" and I have the seats adjusted one or two notches from the back.

Ditto for me. I had the OEM mirror adjusted all the way to the left and it didn't give me the view I needed. With the convex Muz mirror, I still have it all the way to the left and I now see what I need to see.
