Well if you feel you need one add it. It's your car. I just can't see why anyone would need one. I use them all the time in my newer car. But when I drive my old car I just can't see my self using one

... I prefer just the one on the driver side, but some midyear owner like adding one to the right side because they claim it adds balance to the look of the car. Do what you feel is needed for yourself, it's your ride.

Default Where to position a passenger side mirror

I believe I have read that if you position the mirror in the same location as your OE driver side mirror, vision to that mirror is poor. I am sure others with experience mounting a passenger side mirror will chime in here...
