Fan Shaped and Rectangular Blind Spot Mirrors

Round ones didn't cover enough for me on my SUV. Switching to a rectangular shape gave me about 40% more visible area, which made a real difference on three-lane highways.

Anti-Glare and Tinted Blind Spot Mirrors

Night driving with a bright white SUV behind me reflecting off a regular convex mirror was brutal. Tinted versions cut the glare without reducing what you can actually see.
