Default Wide Angle Mirrors

I don't care for the view from the driver's or passenger's side mirrors, as they don't give a wide enough view. Does anyone know of a good quality add on or stick on that I can use?? I know that I can get stick on's from my local hardware store, but they're cheap Chinese garbage. I'm looking for something decent. Any ideas??

Thanks

I did the exact same as the post above me in the same location as well from Walmart. Works good.

Personally, I have never seen or used a better mirror than those that came on my late model Super Duty. If you can find a design like that, you will effectively destroy all blind spots (minus that one behind the spare).

I have put small wide angle mirrors on every vehicle I have owned. I just pick them up at Pep Boys or auto parts store. So far I have them on my JK for 4 months and no complaints. One thing that I always look for is that they angle out slightly otherwise half of the wide angle view is of the side of your own Jeep.

The drivers side mirror on my 2010 JK shine the lights directly into my eyes. I wish they were adjustable!

They are. Roll down the window and push the mirror glass around until it's pointing at what you need to look at. It's as simple as that.

To the OP - Stick-on wide angle mirrors FTW.

I personally love my spot mirrors. I can change lanes on the freeway without looking over my shoulder towards the rear, I just look in my mirrors. I got them at OReily Auto Parts.
