Zoom for $130. I've had mine since Sept 2014. At that time I whined about the price but now it's nothing with the quality and roi. Here's my review.


Good for blind spots and improve viewing angle, great contrast from blue mirrors.
Convex/Blue silvering combo = Increased visibility
Installation: very easy. ZOOM Eng provides you everything you need to install the mirrors. Fitment was spot on.

The details:

Glass Quality:
The glass quality was top notch. There were no inconsistencies on the surface. There is no distortion on the reflection. The biggest selling point is the blue tint and the clear reflection.

Mirror Thickness:
About 1/16 - 3/32. I could not tell if the thickness is perfectly consistent all around. This shape allow you to see more than the flat surface mirror. I cannot tell if the SoCal summer heat will cause it's shape to change causing distortion. Edit: zero distortion after 2.5 yrs.

Mirror Silvering:
The blue coating applied to one side makes this unique and easy on my eyes. It provides the contrast that I need. The quality of the reflection is top notch.
