Yeah I agree 100%. It always struck me funny even as a kid when I started out driving that everyone was worried about being distracted by the radio buttons, but turning your head COMPLETELY AWAY FROM THE ROAD was standard operating procedure...

As soon as I got my daughter a car, I slapped those blind spot mirrors on and taught her how to drive using your side mirrors, especially the blind spot ones.

I've thought about just picking up a set of 2011 side mirrors and trying to retrofit them, but noticed it did involve drilling some new holes. When I drove a 2011 a couple months ago though, I absolutely loved the new mirrors.

Maybe I'll try this as a starting point, see how I like it and if not either grab some of the old school $3 ones at autozone or bite the bullet and try to retrofit some 2011's.

I remember seeing a writeup someone did where they retrofitted the newer 2010+ side mirrors (housings, motors, glass, etc.) onto their 05-09 Mustang... This might be a better option then trying to retrofit the mirror itself...
