Yup, no voluntary personal pix on the net. I'm sure they're out there, but I like to stay otherwise anon-ee-moose.

When I first got my Geo Metro 1 ltr I removed 70 lbs. I did remove the passenger side mirror but absolutly hated that mod so I put it back on. I still get 50-57 mpg at 65 mph. I might try that inside mirror mod on the pasenger side in the spring....no problem with seeing it since there is no front passengers seat and no passenger to hinder the view of it.

My Civic never had the pass-side mirror to begin with, until I put it on there b/c my wife wanted it... I still don't use it, so I guess I don't see an issue with not having it.
I think the interior pass-side mirror is the best idea though, visually... I have no previous real-world experience with this, so this input can be ignored.

I bought a "six-lane" mirror off of ebay, and it ended up being this oversized flat mirror, not a convex mirror.
Sad thing was that the way it mounts it won't fit onto my mirror. The clams would only fit onto a mirror that is thin (like the old school metal frame mirrors)

That's egg-zactly what happened with my 17" convex mirror when it came. The packaging had 1970's dinosaur cars on it (in an LA traffic jam?!?!?!). Instead of returning it, I unscrewed the old-school clamp, drilled 4 holes in the plastic backing, and ziptied it to my current mirror, ricer style. That way, if I want to take it off, 2 snips and it's gone.

LOL. That's.... inventive. Has anyone ever considered using something like stick-tac? (poster adhesive putty)
Or even using those cool hook things they have at Wally World that don't leave marks on your walls... you just use the 3m double sided adhesive they come with, but when you're done, you can just pull the adhesive off by a strip, and it leaves no marks or mess... You can buy just the adhesive refills for them, and it might be a good thing to try!
