Whatever the reason, whatever the season, you need a good rear view mirror that allows you to see everything around you. Convex in height and width for complete 180° wraparound vision. One glance and you'll see vehicles behind you as well as those passing on sides. Choose 13-1/2" W x 2-3/4" H mirror for compact and small cars and giant 17" W x 2-3/4" H mirror for mid-size and large cars/trucks

It's designed to mount onto 1970-style thin rear-view mirrors, so I had to zip-tie it on. I know it's from the 70's because it has Detroit-dinosaur cars on the packaging. It has some side distortion, but it's totally worth it (to me).
These are the motorcycle mirrors I got for the interior :

The idea is I wanted a
short stock with lots of adjustability. The problem is that these mirrors are flat. Soooooo, I bought some concave blindspot mirrors for trucks and used VHB tape to stick them on.
Yeah, "getting used to" is the key to mirror mods. But now when I drive "normal" cars I miss my monster mirrors.
In terms of eye-contact, just recite scenes from the Sonic fast-food commercials with your passenger.
