convex side mirror suggestions...

Hi Everyone. I have no problems adjusting the side mirrors for saftey but
(on all my other cars) I have the round little convex mirrors. I love them.
One look, nobody there, and boom - lane change. I miss that, I don't want to put the round ones on my 'maro. I have the black wedge type on standby. Up here in Kanuckistan (Canada) we don't get the selection that our US brothers get. So..any links to cool mirrors or examples are appreciated. The best solution (for me) would be a full size convex (not too convex) that replaces the whole side mirror - that would be cool.

TANKS!

I've got the black wedge style ones on my Camaro on the lower inside corners of each side mirror. In the past 2 months, I haven't missed a single vehicle in my blind spots. They may look a bit strange but they keep me from wrecking my car or someone else's without having to twist my neck off looking back over my shoulder.

I had these on my last car and worked great - make sure if you drive in Winter & get salt on them you wash them off as soon as possible with a little Windex - otherwise they'll start to pit and fade...

So far I am A-OK positioning the side mirrors out far enough to see the car changing lanes from behind move from my rear mirror to side mirror to the corner of my eye before it leaves the side mirror... so I'm resisting putting these on for now.
