I was considering installing the wide view rear view mirror on the driver's side and came across this thread. It is kind of an old thread so I am just confirming that current sentiments are still the same?

I love my blind spot mirrors. $2.00 each from NAPA. Would never pay to have the extended mirrors.

Same here! I have BSM system, yet I love having my blind spot mirrors. Can't trust technology to do all the work for you YET

I have the driver's side mirror (I don't think passenger side mirror is available) and would do it again but I was definitely disappointed in the performance of the mirror. I purchased the mirror online intending to install myself but then had Lithia Honda install it during an oil change. I don't remember the purchase price but Lithia charged me about $35 to install it which I considered reasonable under my circumstances.

Curiously, what about the mirror made you disappointed?

In my opinion, it does not significantly increase the rear viewing angle.

Well, darn it, I guess we'll just go with the cheapie stick-on spot mirror route then, thanks Farther.

The distortion in the extended mirror is awful. I left mine on for one day and took it off and reinstalled the original.
