According to the Multivex website both their mirrors are slightly convex and shrink objects in view. That concerns me. Have other Multivex mirror users found this distortion to be a problem for parking lot maneuverability or CHP spotting?
I installed my Multivex mirrors about two months ago. I'll agree that the distortion can sometimes cause poor depth judgement. But I'd rather see a car in the next lane and be unable to tell the depth than to plain not see the car in the next lane!
