WRAPAROUND PANORAMIC WIDE-ANGLE MIRRORS : JC Whitney: Auto Parts & Accessories

(This one is 5 inches wider than the RAZO unit at 300mm which means that much more viewing area up both sides of the car)

That's the exact one I have. In the interest of total-information-awareness, here are some things to consider :

1 - The picture on the outside of the box is *literally* of a 1970's dinosaur car traffic jam. This is a clue that the attachement is designed for the "thinner-backed" rear view mirrors of 1970's cars. I couldn't get it to work with my 1999 "thicker plastic" rear-view mirror (hard to describe). I mothballed it for a few months until I figured out how to jury rig my own attachment. I dremeled 4 holes into the plastic backing of the 17" mirror and used grommets and zipties to attach it to my rear view mirror.

2 - The mirror distortion quality is ok but not great. I'll bet the RAZO is crisper, because it looks like the "ricer" kinds I have seen in auto parts stores. Also, I have seen "RAZO style" ones in widths up to 17" on occasion. But, I'll bet the RAZO is also "less convexy", .
