You guys are afraid of the looks "stick on mirrors" provide but I'll bet you are still wearing straight leg jeans, shirt tucked in, with white sneakers....so 80's!

I used the "stick on" before I was instructed at a Performance Driving Class about how to adjust the side mirrors out. The major problem with the little and they are all little, stick on is that at night and especially at night in the rain they are totally, yes totally, useless. Adjust your mirrors correctly and learn how to use them.

I heard on the boards that the blind spot on the left side is pretty severe unless you get a little round mirror from walmart. I am going to be picking up the car and driving it back maybe in harsh weather and need to have mirrors with me. How big of blindspot mirror 1/2 1" 1.5" 2" what do ya'll suggest? And can you really find them in wallymart?
After driving for two months have found the blind spot mirrors are a big help, even after positioning the main mirrors as suggested to "eliminate blind spots." In the C7 that only partially works. Took pictures of what is visible, and not, with the Vette parked between two cars. Also shows how to "correctly" set the main mirrors. Pics are on my web site netwelding.com/reports_vette_info.htm

The spot mirror is so corner auto parts store junk.
Replacing with a convex mirror would be better as suggested.
Or just position your existing mirror properly and use them often as needed.
