Any pictures of the multivex mirrors installed? I have seen already a few, and sorry to say that it was not so nice to see.. I know that we speak here about security, but when it's correctly integrated, it would be better

Use darkSol's method and they look like original equipment (thanks David). Start with post #93.

dissenting opinion, problems judging distance

I have had my Exige for ten months. My wife recently bought me the Multivex mirrors and I installed them a week ago.

My regular mirrors were adjusted precisely, allowing me to see behind my Exige to within nine feet of the rear bumper. I can see people waiting behind me at the light. I can see most of the cars behind me except when they are in my blind spots. These are the spots at the rear 3/4 position. It is easy to determine the distance cars are behind and therefore make safe lane changes.

After installing the mirrors, I have been having difficulty determining how far back cars are behind me. I have gained only slightly in covering the blind spots. I have not gained anything in my ability to see directly behind me.

I am not sure I like the tradeoff. I want to know how far cars are behind me as well as seeing all around. I can see all around by moving my head, doing shoulder checks, and being careful. Things you should do normally. I cannot make up for distance judgment.

I will use the mirrors for a bit longer and see if I can accommodate them.

PS I know Multivex provided some different curvatures to one of our members in an effort to determine the best fit for our cars. These bend the light differently and make the cars appear narrower at the outer edge of the mirror. I may have preferred a mirror with less curvature....
