Try a search for lanechanger mirror. It fits on your regular inside rearview mirror. Also I found at Walmart small convex spot mirrors that rotate 360 to adjust the view. I found them in the RV section. You could mount these inside where the outside mirrors used to be and be able to adjust them.

Search 5 panel mirror on ebay ... Now a days these types of mirrors are sold by Golf cart supply stores as they are pitching them for golf carts and such.

I picked up a 5 panel for under $20.00

Would this not be illegal if you don't have a driver side mirror? Just curious? In NC you have to have one. The pass one is ok not to have one...I think.

You have to check your state laws, in NY you have to have an "outside" drivers side mirror and a rearview mirror in the car but I'm sure other states have different wordings.

Actually, I looked a while back, and in NY you have to have an outside mirror on the right if you have tinted windows or no back window (e.g., a panel van). The one on the left is mandatory as well. I'm considering buying peep mirrors from some sort of hot rod supply, probably Mooneyes, as they are pretty decent to deal with. I just have to figure out how to blank off the mirror holes without looking goofy.

I really should get a big convex rearview, though. That would be pretty sweet. Not that the xB has a problem with blind spots, or anything, given the giant windows, but I have a thing for knowing what's going on around me.

Havent seen this kind of rear view mirrors before, is it same with other mirrors for rear view? My 3.5 inch rear view mirror, one part(1/3 of the mirror) is with GPS Nav. Had it more than one year, the function is in well condition, but colors would thin at night, i was wondering if there is some better mirrors for solving this problem, or some feasible way to improve it. Any helps would be appreciated.
