Re: Ratty's Thaipess - Paint protected shizzle
Larger field of view, being concave obviously makes them less accurate but if you can't judge 6 feet behind you then you've got issues 
Ratty I take it you've considered swapping your rear view mirror to the Spoon blue concave? Think they only make them for the Teg/S2K but how hard can it be to fit one of those mirrors?

Carrisma the heated mirrors are just an element stuck on the inside, could easily be done I imagine

Cant you see the different before and after on the picture.K30DPC wrote:what'sthe advantage on them?
Because they are concave you see more in the mirror.
I wouldnt say less accurate since you can tell what a lane or a house looks like in a mirror. These just help reduce blind spots. The blue glass reduces headlight glare alot.
It will be impossible to do heated mirrors since these stick ontop of the original glass. Also these arnt tinted so you cant peel them. They are actually blue concave glass.
He makes 4th Gens ones too.
I considered the rear view mirror but i dont use it. My van does not have one due to steel bulkhead so i have learnt not to rely on it.

Really... are we looking at the same picture?wurlycorner wrote:To be fair ratty, in the pics the amount of extra you can see in the reflection is pretty small so it is difficult to tell until you know what you're looking for
I took the images at almost the same angle but with the blue mirrors you can see my vans wing mirrors, my cars wing deflector and more sky, thats a massive amount for a small mirror. An extra 1m of visable road is the difference of a whole blind spot.
Even in my van i put the option curved mirrors in and its made a huge difference. I can see a whole lane more which is around 1.5m and those mirrors are twice the size.
