Guess what I have in my Big Meat Hook Hands!!!
The Blind Spot Mirror Lens Prototype came a day early!!!
...and yes we know how to adjust our mirrors and have seen the posts
with the diagrams on how to do it (this post is not about that)
I can't wait to slap this on

Want to start off by saying thanks to Clay (Foosh) for volunteering to put us in
his heated garage and taking time out of his day to host my wife and I. It was a
pleasure and hope to get together again soon,
While this was far from Scientific (nor was it meant to be) We did fit the Prototype Blind Spot Mirror
today. Installation was simple enough that 3 grown adults with higher educations did not screw it up
We gained a full 5 Feet of visibility directly in the Blind Spot Area.
Notice my mirrors are adjusted wrong
But
I now have complete visibility down the side of the entire car
and
The Blind Spot is COMPLETELY eliminated

I was able to drive 100+ miles today with the mirror installed and my first impression is WOW. Personally I love it - a lot.
I am now able to see a car approaching from behind left and never lose sight of it in the mirror until I can see it
beside me without the mirror. On narrow 3 lane streets I could actually see over 1-1/2 lanes. My favorite thing is
being able to see down the side of the car. When your mirrors are "correctly" adjusted you lose that side of the
car reference point (visual) I just love being able to see down the side of the car AND the blind spot.
Very awesome

What does this do? Is it specially designed to curve the reflection behind you?

It's a Blind Spot Mirror - but it is one lens - so you don't have to roll around
with this ugly thing stuck on your Corvette

Is there any way for this to have the autodim and heating of our stock mirror?
Either way, I'm interested.

Its an exact replica - so you should be able to do it either way...
The factory lens is stuck on to a backing plate, so no reason that you
could not remove the oem lens and just stick this one in its place
What I can tell you, is that it is so thin, I would not go to all the trouble

Prior to installation, can you please have someone in the driver seat take a quality photo looking out the mirror and the same exact photo with the new mirror for comparison?
And, if a standard mirror gives (for arguments sake) 110 degree view, what does this mirror project?

Just got the prototype in late today - going to talk to the designer tomorrow
Yes, I will absolutely do before and after pics - was just chatting with someone
on how to do that effectively

Hmm?
Our modestly priced 2018 RAV4 LTD has amber blind spot warning lights in both outside mirrors. And I like them a ton. Knowledge is power. And it just might save your life.

Well I have my mirrors correctly adjusted to minimize and almost eliminate the blind spot. Adjusting the mirrors correctly really does work. However, I will be watching this very closely and would love to try one of these out.
