Convex drivers mirror | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

When I purchased my VS 5 years ago one of the first improvements was to replace the passenger side rear view mirror. I installed a german made convex mirror from Sierra Madre. A great improvement in vision. Today I did the same with the driver's mirror. What a difference in vision. Also the blind spot is reduced somewhat. The should be an option on new vehicles.

Me too, and it's a great improvement. It is taking me a little time to get used to how much closer those objects in my rear view mirrors are than they appear.

Objects never get that close to me to worry about ;-)

Flatulence problem?

Convex is the way. This was the first thing I did to my VS. I purchased the ones from sierra madre as well. The convex on them is mild so they do not look funky like spot mirrors. I do recommend them.

Has anyone found a nice convex or wide angle mirror for the center rear view mirror that looks like the original?

There is a recent thread on this. About 3-4 mo. ago. As I recall NLA, had the best price.

Eazy E and Dr. Dre are selling replica Porsche parts?

Not with an attitude. I had to Google Eazy E and Dr. Dre, to learn who they are. Go figure
