May I asked where did you get the kit shown on your reply. I called the vendor where I ordered the kit I like. it does included the hardware but no template for easy installation like the one posted. As an engineer this should be easy measurement, but I rather use a kit which include such template.

I picked it up from a local parts vendor at Corvette Expo a few years back, so I don't really know it's origin.

You could probably just remove your driver side mirror and hardware and make a similar template from that. I'm pretty sure the screw pattern is symmetric.

What's up with that?
I agree! That flat mirror gives a very limited view!

If you ever come across one, let me know!
