And i just figured it out. By moving the mirror back on the passenger side. You have a symmetrical visual view of the drivers/passenger mirror from the driving position. If you slid the passenger mirror forward the 2" or so the mirror would actually appear to be 2" further forward since the mirror glass would be running into the visual point of the door triangle.
So, my opinion is by having the passenger mirror further back is allowed for a less distracted view of the passenger mirror since it visually is nearly identical to the drivers mirror.

Because DSM's are a different car, and a smaller car.Quote:

I have HUGE blind spots on my Grand Prix. Guess where the mirror is located? That's right, on the triangle.
I have the mirror properly adjusted and between losing cars in the mirror when I know they are beside me, to not seeing cars that are to the left and just in front of me, it gets old, fast.
The Stealth has damn near ZERO blind spots.
700$ for a set of mirrors... jesus...Quote:

those look nice. has power mirrors and side markers. and the style you're looking for.
and the incorrect year. the triangle needs to be the same size, or you may as well throw away your money.Quote:
