Chip,

Isn't the passenger side already a "blind spot" mirror from the factory?

Are you considering making something else for the passenger side?

We are working one it but don't hold your breath, if you knew how long it takes to design and bring one of these to market. I can tell you that it will not be anytime in the immediate future

After installing the driver side and driving 500 miles I can say that there is a difference.

MACE_Hardware and Frank in Massachusetts,

Did you remove the original mirror, and replace it with the new mirror?

Do you not have the original mirror on the car anymore?

Hi , the blind spot mirror just bonds to the face of the factory mirror and then you snap it back in place . Are you ok with that ? Easy pezzy !
