Blind spot mirror add-ons?

Looking for some blind spot stick on mirrors, but most of the ones that I have seen are super cheap and look bulky.

Has anyone found some high quality, more discreet mirrors? Or does anyone have any suggestions on one's that have worked for them?

Pics are appreciated

Thanks in advance everyone and enjoy the 3 day weekend!

 

Matt, I played with the stick ons in the past and they always frustrated me. Now I use the mirrors I bought from @SMKYTXN. I intend to never go back. Check out his thread here.

 

I use the $2 stick on ones from any auto parts store. I put them in the upper outside of my mirrors. Been doing it that way for over 20 years and works great.

 

Or just properly adjust the mirrors. Vehicles should enter the side view mirror as they leave the rear view mirror. As they leave the side view they should enter your peripheral vision. If you can see any part of the side of your own truck without leaning quite a bit either left or right you are doing it wrong.

 

Uh Huh.....

 

Check out the EZView mirrors if you want to actually eliminate your blindspots and not sacrifice your field of view with a stick on convex mirror.

Videos are better than pics.

Or, you can use a mirror that doesn't sacrifice the view of the side of your vehicle.

 

I hate the distortion of aspherical mirrors.

 

Side-view mirrors. To adjust the driver's side-view mirror, place your head against the left side window and set the mirror so you can just barely see the side of the car in the mirror's right side. To adjust the passenger's side-view mirror, position your head so that it is just above the center console.

 

Thanks everyone!

 

I had a panoramic rear view mirror, similar to this one, that helped

Yep, same here. Works just fine.

 

I'll probably try those out for now, thanks for all the input!

 

Why not, they are cheap and if you don't like them it's just a little elbow grease to remove them so something else can take their place.

 

^^^^this^^^^

 

This. Most people don't know how to adjust mirrors correctly. Sad.

 

True. I estimate that when I pay attention well over half of the people I am behind in traffic can see me (and I can see them) out of the rear view and both side mirrors. That's young and old alike so the ignorance didn't start with the current crop of drivers. Its surprising when I come across someone that knows what they are doing.

 

Good suggestions above. Had two scenarios that got me thinking about this today. Had a 1990s Toyota truck on my left, and I saw him clearly, but didnt see the Mazda behind it that was tailgating him at 80mph. Later, had a guy in an Accord pass me on the right after sitting in my blind spot a few minutes. Wasnt expecting him to merge back over off of the highway exit lane. Both tricky scenarios, but some mirror adjustments should help.

 

Not to derail the thread but @Foozer, what's your name? Just curious, my normal nickname is n2fooz. Chris McSweyn out of CA.

 

My real name is Matt. But the first concert I ever went to as a kid was a Weezer / Foo Fighters concert in Oakland (the "Foozer" tour) and I loved both bands so much after that I started using Foozer for my online handles

 

Haha cool. I thought it may be for foosball like mine.
I saw the Foos in January at a private event. It was a great show. I was about 5ft away from Dave when he fell off the stage. My buddy's video was used in this story:
