side mirrors need help
 
two part question:
1/ I find lights from vehicles coming from behind, absolutely blind me in my frs. Partly its because of the height of the car and no autodimming mirrors. My f150 have autodimming in the sides and rear view mirror. CAn aftermarkets be bought? Even stick on types?

2/ Love the shape of the side mirrors......... but dont help alot. Question my drivers side mirror is distorted when compared to the right side.

Any and all helpful advice appreciated......experiences??

something like this is a common solution.

these are heated but you can get non-heated ones for your FRS

ya seen auto dimming rear mirrors... but not autodimming side mirrors yet

you can get the blue/yellow convex mirror replacements or lightly tint them. I just adjust the side mirrors lower so u have to look down slightly. That, and the interior mirror slightly higher so I look up to use it. And adjust the side mirrors further out so you can't see behind you. I see people adjust it(wrong) to look behind them when you can use the inside mirror.

@sledheadguy

1. Yes the left mirror and the right mirror are shaped differently. You're not seeing things.

2. Like @swarb said above, I'd reccomend tinted mirrors like the ones below. I have a similar mirror set tinted yellow. Helps lots.
