Since you are a repeat customer can I ask for the purchasing info. Can I assume the mirrors are the same on my 2006?

thanks, Rich

I changed mine just for the benefit. Went with the blue ones. Should have made the change years ago.

I'm partial to the Redneck fixes for damaged mirrors myself.

HAHAHA...at least the mirror pictured above is secured better than some other pics I've seen of hand mirrors tied to the side of the car.

{looks like great minds think a like in the one below...two vehicles both with hand mirrors tied on}

It amazes me that people would tape on a hand mirror when you can buy cut-to-size stick on mirror for $10.

Anyone can throw money to fix a car, but what if you out in the backroad and you need to MacGuyvr something.

I would have super glues an OLD smartphone to it and set it to back facing camera. Now that's a MacGuyver fix.

I bought the Aspherical wide angle mirror in 2010, they are still in great condition. Love the added vision, BUT....I still have trouble judging distance (when pulling on to the highway) - I still need to turn my head.

With stock mirror I used the lean to adjust method. Since you can't see the side of the vehicle without leaning I was never sure the mirror was still in adjustment. I don't have to adjust the wide angle mirror to the point I can't see the side of the X so I have more confidence the mirror has not moved so it could be missing anything. On Dallas area freeways you have to trust your mirrors.

I call those "part on hand" fixes "deserted island" fixes. I am the grand master of said sport. I've invented literally hundreds of tools to engineer hundreds of one off fixes. It would take five minutes to remove the frame from one of those mirrors and cut to size for a proper mcgyver job.

I couldn't find a proper example of original camera phone but found one of the very first viral emails of hands free phone.
