get the larger circular mirror ... i use the 2-inch size from NAPA. it has
better quality relection (?) ... that is, the image isn't nearly as much
distorted as the ones i got from k-mart. anyway, it's big enough for me
without taking up too much of the regular mirror. they have a bigger one,
but it was too big for me.  i think stuart liked the bigger ones, though.
i tried those little 1-inch things but they were really useless.

another choice would be to spend lotsa-bucks and install the electric power
mirrors from a later model bus. about $800. :)
