The spoon mirrors are convex on the driver side in the LHD cars but not on the passenger side...

The blind spot doesn't bother me as much as the night time reflections off the wind deflector, it can look like a vehicle is back there to my right when there's not.

I have no problems with the blind spots....A quick look over the shoulder during lane changes isnt hard....I do it all the time anyways...

Peace

$100 bucks for a fix that can be done with about an hour of your time a couple of 5 cent washers!!!
Not for me. Check out the archives for the washer fix. I haven't done it yet but it was shown at the fall colors tour and looks pretty simple and nowhere near $100!!

Looks like Spoon's not getting the S2Ki owners purchase approval on those blue tinted mirrors.

What blind spots? I have 360' of clear vision...and can see all behind/beside me w/proper adjustment of rear and side mirrors.

Seriously, it's not nearly as bad as our Saturn (or any other american car I've driven recently). At least the review mirror doesn't block 33% of my front view!

A $100 solution? Try the $1.19 solution. Those little PEP Boys spot mirrors may not look so great stuck on your left side mirror, but they look better than a crashed S2k!
