One suggestion from an ex trucker...
People like to put those stickons on the outer rim of the mirror. This area is a part which you use constantly, so when placed there you lose vital viewing area. Truckers like to put them on the inner-lower area so they only block where you would normally see just the side of your own vehicle, where you lose no vital viewing area and still get good visiblity for objects you want to avoid. No offense intended to anyone who likes them on the outer area, just a suggestion.

I don't care what kind of mirrors and/or googles you're wearing, the BEST practice is to TURN YOUR HEAD and look before passing, changing lanes, etc.
wonbyone: Are you sure those photos are large enough?!

Wow they do give you a good view behind. Not crazy abut the stems but I could live with them. But like XTrooper said no matter what kind of mirrors you use nothing beats double checking by turning your head and actually looking.
wonbyone: Yeah could ya resize those pics. They are so small it is really hard to make out much. Had to zoom in.
