The whole length of the windshield?

May as well turn your seat around and have a front view mirror...

That's going to block a lot of the view out the top of the windshield, which is inconvenient for seeing overhead traffic signals.

You're better off with a clip-on "Broadway"-type mirror if improved vision rather than looks are the issue. That type of larger mirror will not block the top view out the windshield and will not need drilling/tapping of the interior for mounting.

x2, I have them in both my cars.

My cousin had one of these or something similar in his Celica. It kind of bothered me.

Wink mirror

I think what you want a "wink mirror" or a "wide angle" mirror

heres a site that carries it but, you can also do a google search or "wink mirror"

Broadway makes the wider mirrors and so does Razo.
