Rear view mirror upgrade?

I want to find a Rear view mirror upgrade that will fit over out current mirror. The one I had on my previous car just doesn’t fit. Anyone have recommendations?

Upgrade???? What else would you have it do? It already gives a reverse image and automatically dims to eliminate glare from behind. Perhaps give a broader view?

I use to have this added mirror on top of th stock mirror which gave more view area. I want that on my car. It seems like going from 42" screen to 23" screen TV. =P

Check this link .... Blind Spot and try out the procedure for a couple of days to see if it helps. It works for me and whole bunch of other people. One caution, it takes a little bit of getting used to.

omg the rear view has such a useful feature in that it auto dims when the car behind you is blinding you. those adding one of those wide rear view mirrors will prevent this feature from working. in my opinion there is no need for those huge ass mirrors. if you are depending on one big rear view to see all around you then you are making driving dangerous for yourself. plus try pulling down the sun visor wne you have one of those in place, you can't the big ass mirror blocks the sun visors(both of them).

I hate the ones you are talking about. My girlfriend has that one. I'm talking about wide mirror.

The reason why I like it is cuz it saved me few times from closin' in CHP. =)
