A hundred bucks for a stick on mirror that offers me less functionality than the 3 bucks I spent, WOW!
I adjust my mirrors all the ways out as others have said and I added a small circular convex mirror in the lower/outer corner of the driver's side. I have no blind spot, I can see wide angle and proper distance from the 2-mirror combo on the driver's side and I see the wide angle from the standard convex mirror on the passenger side. Sure seems simple to me. And I only need this when the top is up and that ain't often. When the top is down it is a quick swing of the head to get a glance, it is a motorcycle habit, and one I just as soon not break.

I don't rely on mirrors for changing lanes... my issue is backing out of parking spots... our other car is a CR-V (great visibility) and when backing it doesn't feel safe...
that said, I bought the car to have fun going forward so a little inconvenience going backwards is a small price to pay...

TJ, while that is the proper way to drive, you're still ultimately relying on your mirrors. I constantly keep an eye out behind and around me, it makes lane changes all the easier if I have to move quickly. But no matter what I still have to use my mirrors in some capacity.
