Yeah I've only had one drive so far and I know it's silly but it's almost like I don't believe my mirrors lol. It'll take a while to adjust to. I'm like "is that REALLY my blind spot?"

Installed the SRP pedal. Took about 15 mins



Oh and look at the difference between blind spot with rexspeed mirror and stock.

Money wasted

Actually to cover the "blind spot" all ypu had to do was adjust the mirror correctly. You should not see your own car in the mirror.

Yup, it took me awhile to get used to it.

if your mirrors are adjusted properly you shouldn't really have a blindspot in any car

I'll vouch for the mirrors. Had the speedline ones with built in turn signals in a '13 and just picked up a pair for a new '17. The stock mirrors are ok (of course when adjusted properly). The wide angle mirrors work even better.
