This new blind spot mirror from Sandyeggo Designs is perfect. The edge of that garage door is 5 ft to my left and 2 ft behind me. Amazing. Highly recommended. I know how to adjust mirrors for blind spots, but this makes it much easier viewing.
Do you guys really have your mirrors adjusted to see that much of your own car or is it just the angle that you took the picture?
Maybe because I have a convertible (or sitting position), but I don't really see that big of a blind spot. It was the same in my C6. My wife's XT5 has more of a blind spot.
Our modestly expensive Toyota RAV4 has blind spot indicators in the outside mirrors. Orange icons that warn you if a car is side by side in a precarious blind spot. Two indicators in each, one for close and really close. It is incredible how useful this simple feature is. This from a car that cost 1/3 of a C7. It is inexcusable, my C7 doesn't have this. Though easy to know why. GM dumbs it down to save a few bucks. For those of you who buy into the 'driving experience' intrusion argument, I'd offer two things. One, is safety important when you have you son, daughter, wife, or grandkids in the car? Second, the blind spot feature can be toggled off for those who answered no. Though I can't imagine who would. Answer no nor toggle it off.

With new cars and higher trucks with "air craft " brightness lights , I need auto dimming.
I like the idea of more than an add on little mirror but NEED less blinding from behind.
I dislike auto dimming on the C7, which dims headlights too much, so no loss there. Defrost will still be of some benefit because the stick-on mirror will have heat transferred to it from the OEM mirror underneath.
I agree this new mirror makes lane changes in heavy freeway traffic much more relaxing, and eliminates the need for head turns. Even with the driver's side mirror properly adjusted there is still a small blindspot with the flat OEM mirror.
I'd much rather have this than the blind-spot warning indicators and warning tone we have on another car.

That is the view from the camera. Not where my eyes see it sitting in the car.
