I had one on my car, but it was blocking the view of the video camera, so I attached a mirror right above the dash.

You cant see directly behind you though. Great for side view and partial rear view, but you will not have the direct rear view that you have with the OEM version.

The manual says to start mounting with the first mirror above the center of the wheel. We cant do that because it wont fit in our cars so we start at the extreme left as pictured and end at the extreme right which positions the mirrors so you cant see directly behind. It would prolly be better with the 3 mirror wink but I purchased the 5 mirror as pictured.

I have it and am half blind (right eye) and it helps me a crap load however with such a small car I used to find solice in knowing when I stop short no one was going to ram me from behind. Now I just listen for the screeeeech of tires and feel secure changing lanes.

OOOHH and btw Pep boys in FL carries em.

Well, it seem to me that you're stuck in the 80's.
