I've noticed that looking through the hatch I have an ok view of the right rear, the 'rear peepholes' don't give you much visibility at all lol. But for the left side, you're completely blind to anything not even with your door, and unless you wanna lean forward and look like a re-re you have to dare to change lanes. Thats pretty much why anytime I'm on a road with more than 1 lane, I'll always go to the left lane as quickly as possible and just stay there. It's not so bad at night because obviously if someone's close you'll see the light. But during the day it can be tricky, I just tend to accelerate before making my lane shift that in case someone is there, I give them some more room so I'm not cutting them off.

As for those lil stick ons, I've looked at 2 different types, they have one that's completely round, and one that is kind of square with 1 rounded edge. I didn't want to get the circular ones because they would be ugly. The others however might look somewhat ok if the angle is the same as the angle of the mirror. As long as it flows I think the little bit of visibility I gain with them will make up for the eyesore... But thats just IMHO.
