sick of my side mirrors..

weird shape, too small, poor visibility, find myself adjusting them 10+ times every time i drive the car.. all my other cars had a "sweet spot" where i'd adjust the mirrors once and be done with it for years and never have to move them around again.

i have 3,500 miles on my SS and find myself adjusting my mirrors every 2 minutes while driving because i cant find that "sweet spot"

anyone know of any aftermarket mirrors and mirror housings for the 2ss? how difficult would it be to install them and have them painted?

That is just plain awful. I love my mirrors and don't have any blind spot issues. Mine are adjusted properly.

No mirror problems here. I personally love elephants, but do not want to drive one. If you ever made a mistake, they never forget!
