Sport Mirror W/ Convex Mirror?

Hey Everybody, I think the sport mirrors look great but do not provide a large enough field of vision on the passenger side. I also think this field of vision could be improved with a convex mirror. Has anyone modified a passenger side sport mirror with a convex mirror?

I wanna say that you could get them on the vans? I think I saw that somewhere.

I have a bud who had convex mirrors cut and installed in his 71 Chevelle. He said that just about any automotive glass shop could do it.

A local glass shop said they could not install convex glass in my sport mirror.

Re: Sport Mirror W/ Convex Mirror?

Looking to get some peep mirrors and was wondering if I should go with convex glass mirrors on my driver side? Pros and cons.....


This thread is a little old

Re: Sport Mirror W/ Convex Mirror?

wow... zombie thread!
Pros, you can see more due to a wider path of vison in the same size mirror.
cons, you can't really look at things due to the smaller immage, but at least you'll SEE them.


I run convexes on both sides on my longhorn. No reg mirror at all. I have almost no blind spot at all.
