What happens to the heated function of these mirrors?

because of the wider view.. I kept the side visible for a reference point..
I can now see very clearly cars approaching my left side where there was a bad blind spot before no matter how it was adjusted. It is a good solution for me.. dont see why there cant be more than one way to get the view you need..

Rear view is for behind you, side view is for next to you. It's a simple concept.

Thanks for pointing that out. I missed that. I guess it makes sense why I didn't like 2 and 5.

I just turn my head, it's a bit cheaper.

I have these as well and I wouldn't conclude them to 'completely' eliminate the blind spots but they do help a good amount

The left side gives maybe 30% more viewing area but the right side mirror appears to almost be the same as stock visibility range maybe +5% more

i dont think there is an issue with blind spots in this car either but im tall so when i sit very far back and my vision is coming from pretty high up in the cabin, it is near impossible to see the curbs when i try to parallel park with properly adjusted mirrors. this might be an option.

Cutting off your roof will also take care of the blind spots. There are many ways to fix a problem, but not all of them are going to be practical. Like many others I am cheap and lazy and if I can fix a problem for free and with minimal effort I'm going to go that route.

I'm glad you're happy with your mirrors. They sure are sexy looking.

Nice! I love my Rexpeed mirrors

As a MC rider, bet you could hide a bike in the "blind spot" that those mirrors have, too.

Maybe... But not as easily as with the stock mirrors.. I always watch out for the cageless two wheel riders and give them lots of room.

It's easy .. Even I was able to do it without breaking something!

I hope, if you don't think there is, that you pay very close attention when you change lanes. And that I'm nowhere nearby.

there is no blind spots if you position the mirrors correctly

you shouldn't be seeing your car in your mirrors.......you won't be hitting yourself

they need to be far out so when you tilt your head to the left you can see the edge of your car in the mirror, and if you position yourself in the middle of the car, and look into your right mirror, you should be able to see your car only then

i'm 5'2'' and don't have any problems with the blind spots.....i do shoulder checks as well to be 100% sure that nobody's around

they will teach you this at any advance driving school
