Right now the only way to look back is to lean my upper body way forward and then take a quick look.
Winner winner chicken dinner. I'm 6', seat about one click from all the way back and no amount of mirror adjusting produces no blind spot for me. In my girlfriend's car I can see a car in the rearview, see it in the sides before it disappears from the rearview, and see it in my peripheral before it disappears from the sides. That's what I can't do in the twins.

Those of you munchkins (no offense, term of endearment) who sit on the steering wheel have it different, I think.

Haven't had a problem with blind spots in ANY car since I started doing this.
That is a good tip. i am going to try that.

I previously had a broadway 300mm convex mirror in my old sedan which worked great for seeing the blind spots, but after transferring the mirror to the FRS, all I see are the C pillars. Anyone else find that these mirrors don't work in our car?

6'3 here which is why the convex mirrors are so effective in removing the blind spot for me.. And now that I've had some time with them... I wouldn't want to go back to stock..

Way to technical here. The over thinking is making my head hurt.

If they could just be clear I'd be all for 'em but no one seems to make clear convex lenses...*facepalm*

They are available either with or without the heater connection. Your choice when you order them.

I believe they are not actually tinted but rather the blue color results as a product of the polarization.
