I ran Peep Mirrors on my 67 (and now my 72). Never had a problem with them, except in the very beggining, I had to train myself to look "UP" at it, instead of down as with a regular mounted side mirror. Now granted, I don't Tow, Haul or have a Camper, but I am not aware of any "Blind Spots". I run one on the Drtivers Side only, and have never had a problem with Law Enforcment or the CHP. I lived in Nor Cal and am now down in SO Cal, without any problems. I have no vibration on my Peep Mirror, whatsoever. GO FOR IT!

Re: peep mirrors
Wwotr,not tobash you but in your pics theres not a single car in the background,youd be hard pressed around here to get pics like that.Like said I have one on the drivers side but drive mostly in the rear view and over the right shoulder.In heavy traffic they are just about useless.More cosmetic then practical.

Re: peep mirrors
My father had them on his 47 fat fender well all that it takes is one time to clip a person another car or on the freeway and a semi your done Its called a safety device If you clip some one and they make a big enough stink about it CHP or the mounties will impound your car or truck for being unsafe. Bad new's for my father he was pulling into a parking lot did not see the fire hydrant well lets just say 4500.00 for the rear quarter Panel

These pictures were taken in a small rural area I used to live in. But actually the "Road" behind me is Hwy29. Now I can see your point with there not being as much Traffic in a rural area. In November, my Wife and I moved to Palm Desert (15 miles East of Palm Springs). Now I deal with Hwy10 that stretches from LA to New Mexico. The streets were I live arr 3 lanes in each direction with a Speed Limit of 50MPH. After 5 months, I have not had 1 problem in driving, changing lanes,or seeing any obsticles.
