I finally got fed up with the lousy sight angle that the stock mirror --
regardless of color -- provided and got a FLAPS glue-on-da-windshield
mirrors. Gummed the thing midway down the windshield and am very pleased
that I can actually see vehicles closer than 2 meters behind me. Yeah,
not legal, but I'm-a taking my chances.
