5 panel panoramic mirrors
Any thoughts or opinions on these 5 panel mirrors? Apparently they show all blind spots. Does anybody know any good brands if there are any?

It definitely takes a second to get used to the 50/50 split, and having less car body to reference, but the increased field of view is well worth it.

Still do a headcheck, but why not have your mirrors optimally adjusted all the time? It takes like a day to get used to it and then you're golden.

I agree with cobra, but I also just went and got one of those concave round mirrors, stuck it in the corner of my of my outside mirrors, and now i see everything.
Why automakers haven't come up with a slight concave surface to OEM mirrors is beyond me. Would be a simple modification that would give everyone a better view of what's around them. Honestly, I'd rather have that then a damn electronic blind spot warning.
