Huh. So the small mirror's convex shape really makes it hard to use when mounted vertically? I think I will still get one of these and mount it that way, but only rely on it for parallel parking.

Interested to see the camera setup. $156 might seem reasonable, but will still be difficult to recoup in fuel savings... Furthermore you may never save the energy via fuel economy improvement that was required to design, manufacture, and ship those cameras and monitors to your door. This is one of those instances where I think us ecomodders get a little carried away with personal MPG stats and less with overall environmental sustainability. I would be happy to be wrong about this, however.
