Hey Stkjock, the thing here is that the mirror is not widen anything. I mean the mirror is making me think things are so closer when they are not, instead of widen.

You get what im saying ?

1. The best thing to do is turn your head to either side to make sure you dont hit anything. Usually your eyes dont lie to you. Mirrors are there as an aid, not the main source. Too many wrecks and tragedies have been blamed on mirrors.

2. Where can I get the Objects In Mirror Appear To Be Losing sticker?

Sorry i messed up my explanation. I ment passenger side mirror.

Yes, I know it sounds stupid to ask this questions but who knows if the mirror is defect.

Nowpassenger side mirror makes things look closer to the car no to the mirror i.e.
How could that be? The mirror is attached to the car. Whatever looks closer to the car looks closer to the mirror.

If yourenear a wall from the right side of the car and you look at the mirror it seems that the wall isso close to the car but if you turn and see it by yourself you have a lot of distancebetweenthe car and the wall.I asked my dad and he said the same thing is kinda wierd its not like normal passenger side mirrors.
A normal passenger side mirror makes it look like you have MORE space than you actually have. The problem is that you might think by looking in the mirror you have enough space to change lanes when you don't. You're saying your mirror makes it look like you have LESS space than you actually have? If so, that's not right. If that were normal, then you wouldn't need any warning.


Also driver mirror also has the legend.

I just wanted to know if some of you have some issue with the passenger mirror.
BOTH of your mirrors have the legend? Where did you buy this car?

That is exactly what is wrong, passenger side mirror makes it look like you have MORE space than you actually have. So my problem is that instead of look like i have MORE space it looks like I have LESS space than actually i have.
