5.0 out of 5 stars Big mirror - prepare to get comments from your passengers., March 11, 2010

This review is from: Fit System RM011 18" (17.75" Viewing Area) Clip-on Wide Angle Rearview Mirror (Misc.)

I was very pleased to find that this mirror does not suck. At 18 inches, it isn't monstrous but it is definitely much bigger than most if not all stock rear view mirrors. In my 4 door sedan I can see out not only my rear window but also the entirety of the left and right back windows (granted a passenger's head isn't in the way). You can easily look at people in your back seats and the person in the passenger seat with this mirror, which can be fun but perhaps a little distracting and dangerous :)

The quality of the mirror is very nice - it doesn't feel cheap in the slightest. It just clips right on to your existing mirror. I didn't need any instructions to do this... it was really a no-brainer.

What I was most amazed at was that this mirror completely negated the usefulness of my other side rear-view mirrors. I get more viewing angle out of this one mirror than all of my stock rear-view mirrors combined! I am waiting for some convex blind spot mirrors to arrive so I get more utility out of those side mirrors.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Objects in mirror...", April 23, 2010

They don't tell you that the mirror distorts the image, much like the right hand side mirror on most cars -- objects in mirror are closer than they appear. So the trade-off is that you do get a much wider field of view, but you may not like the distorted image. We didn't, so we aren't using it.

The worst problem, though, is that the packaging clearly states "For off-road use only", which is not how this item is being sold. I'm not sure why they would say this unless there is a legal issue in some states, but I can't verify this.

Bought for hubby's truck. He has some problems with turning around in the seat to see the blind spots behind him. This solves the majority of that problem. Coupled with a pair of convex mirrors on the sides, he has it made. Putting the visors down does block the mirror but he rarely uses them so the trade-off was fine. I wish I could find one I saw in 1970 that goes from the middle of the windshield all the way over in stepped segments to the passenger side of the windshield. This is the next best thing and it is quite good so he's happy.
