Here's an option. Zoom Engineering.

I use my OEM mirrors pretty well but it has its limits. The car has a blind spot. This one eliminates it. Viewing angle is wide and it's blue.

Thanks for posting pictures. That seals the deal for me, I'm ordering a set.
I can mitigate the issue by pointing my mirrors out as far as they'll go, but I like the idea of having more viewable. Seems like it would make it easier to drive.

Thanks mate.

Just wanted to share an update.
I bought a set of these, installed a few weeks ago.
Couldn't be happier.
I now have ZERO blind spot on the highway. If I turn my head to the right, I either see the car out my window, or in the mirror. It's never the case that a car is there and I can't see them.

I wasn't 100% happy with how they install. It's essentially just thick foam-like double sided tape in the middle holding them up. Because the back is concave, tape won't connect anywhere else other than the center, so it's just the middle holding it. That said, so far so good. They don't seem to be going anywhere. Modern highperformance tape can hold 20+ lbs per sq in, so hopefully they used the good stuff.

Cliffs: These are the very good, buy them if want to see everything around you.
