Garage Entry/Exit Mirrors?
We have a two car garage setup as two single doors. Since I'm DD her I'll be pulling in and out often. Do y'all use any kind of cheater mirror setup to see where the front splitter corners are when pulling in? I was thinking of setting up cheap vertical mirrors on each side to see.

You mean like this? It’s a 12x12 inch mirror. I got a pack of 6 from Lowe’s for like $10. I have it mounted to a cheap TV mount I found on Amazon. I mounted it and positioned the mirror to where I can see the orange line at the start of the garage. I can see where my driver side front wheel is and follow the orange line to the stop. The car is parked in the same exact spot every time!

YES!!! Thank you. That's perfect. I'll get to work on a similar setup.

you can also string a tennis ball from the ceiling to hit the center of the windshield.

Since I like all the free space at the front of my car I pull in past where I need to be then I use the reverse cam lines and line up with the marks on floor the garage door leaves.

Nothing wrong with lines and mirrors, but if you just practiced for the length of time it takes to buy that stuff, you'd have it down. I used to own an 89 Iroc, and visibility was great. The 16 is SO much harder to see out of. The first day I backed it in I bet I went in and out 5 or 6 times and had to get out a couple times! By the end of the week I'm rollin' in hot, with barely a second look. It's like anything else. Good luck!:happy0180:

Great points and all appreciated. I work shift work and 16 hour turnaround days/nights so if I can eliminate any points of possible error when pulling in during dusk/dawn, that would be great.

I back my car, truck and suv in every time. Never pull straight in and with the new back up cameras its actually easier then pulling in. Then in the morning when you leave your right straight back out the door. Just say see ya.
