Default temporary fix for driver side blind spot?

I just got my S2000, and the blind spot on the driver side when the top down is really bad.

Now Im planning on ordering Muz's left hand convex mirror but for now what do you guys suggest for a temp fix?

Im thinking of getting one of those small ones you attach to your current mirror, is there one that isnt too freakishly large?


Thanks

with the top down?? its not like anything is blocking your view is it? when i look in the mirror, i can see part of the side of the car and the rest is road. as i'm looking left towards the mirror, however, i'd be able to see anything to the left of me out of the corner of my eye so there really is no blind spot.

i hate driving with the top up because of the blind spot, but i suppose that if the range of view the oem mirrors are giving you are not sufficient, the Muz mirrors would benefit you. another alternative are those convex small circle mirrors you stick to your mirrors as well.

do what I do, I flare out my side mirrors for my blind spot instead of just positioning it where you can only see the car behind you which is why you have a rear view mirror for.....

Move your head around and see what's around you BEFORE you alter your course of travel. (It's called a "shoulder check". ) Set your mirrors out as best you can to see as much as you can. Have them looking at something that doesn't overlap your inside mirror any more than necessary. Wait till you get the Muz mirror.

Why not get the Import Tuning Garage convex mirrors? For the same price you get both driver and passenger side convex mirrors.

Our right side mirror is already convex. The Muz left side mirror is OEM in Japan and Oz. It looks like stock when you put it on.
