Does anyone use blind spot mirrors? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I really don't like them. They are good for parking close to curbs, but they kind of give you a blind spot when placing them because they take up a good 1/3 of your mirror. I just adapt to the stock mirrors. The good thing is my car has 666 in the vin and multiple 13s around the car so therefore I can do a satanic owl move.

Yup, that's the trick I was thinking of.

It looks... okay, but I was wondering if there were any that looked like they fit better if that makes any sense. If not, I might just go with those.

Useful on a big truck. Never had a problem in my camaro.

I have them on my '02 Vette and don't like them. Every time I look in the mirrors and see them it is really distracting. I do admit, the Camaro really needs help when NOT coming to a perpendicular intersection on the passenger side.

I have the Oracle Concept side mirrors, and range that you can see is much, much better than the stock mirrors.

I have them & like already said, they are an extra layer of safety & I find htem helpful. It is still important to adjust your mirrors properly. I have them on both sides.

Here is what I have on my Spark.

I've never needed them with properly adjusted mirrors. I have little to no blind spots around the car. unless I move my head I can't see the rear quarter panel so typically I can watch a car move from my side mirror to my rear view mirror or vice versa.

I also feel like I would lose too much mirror by putting those on and don't like the way they look.

Really, blind spot mirrors. Do you all need some of these are well

Based on the number of "I Trashed my rims" threads, a bunch could benefit from them...
