300mm is what I have. Depending on how much you want to see, I prefer the convex style so I can see more. Some people like the flat mirror better because it doesn't make you dizzy. I'm used to the convex, so I have no problem. Get the blue tint. It cuts off the glare.

x2 on the convex... it takes awhile to get used to it but after that you will want one for every car you drive.

i took mine back a total of 4 times before i found one that felt comfortable. i think its 240mm & it is convex. love it but it rattles a bit. going to put some stoppers on my oem mirror to see if it will stop some of the vibration

Nope. I wish I could have bought a blue tinted one over my non-tinted. I mean, the non-tinted is fine. I guess if you are into the style of blue tint or have matching Spoon mirrors with blue tint, go for it.

I have a 330MM with blue tint on my EK right now, so you should get a 300mm with no tint.

Don't want anyone to match me, j/k
