Does anyone have the wide angle mirrors and doe they really make you go faster jk !!! Do they really help the blind spot and how are they at night the blue tinted ones

I have them and LOVE them! At night visibility is lower due to the polarization of the lens which takes getting use to. My only complaint occurred the day after I installed them...I was driving at night and it was raining really really hard and the visibility was terrible with them but it could just be I wasnt use to them yet. I would have to drive on a really really rainy night again to compare. Other than that occasion I absolutely love them.

Yea, no blind spot anymore. It's perfect and I love them, I wish I got them the day I bought my car actually.

Night visibility is decreased but not bad. I have 45% tint (that is, 45% light transmittance). I do take it a bit slower when backing up and it's hard to see cars that forget their headlights but I don't feel unsafe or anything. I've driven a few cars that are 20% tint, and the visibility is better than that for reference.

it's great but you have to get used to cars seeming a lot closer than they really are on the driver side

I like mine. Took a few days to get used to, my eyes had like a delayed focus when glancing over to them

I use them too, and I believe this is one of the must do mods just for safety sake.
