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.
I take it this a peel and stick installation over the existing mirror?
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

I would be interested in that also. I haven't really experienced the blind spot problems that some of the other forum members have been experiencing, but I would be curious to see how much better they are. If they turned out to increase the viewing angles I would also be interested in a set.
Show us more when you have a chance. I'm interested!
Same here
The mirrors on the C7 are placed pretty good (low and wide) which eliminates most blind spots,
but I would like the piece of mind of having more coverage of my surroundings.
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.
