I never had any problems seeing out of mine, but I know some of the fake ones are a little difficult to see out of the passenger side.

takes time to get used to it, I dunno about the others but the first time I installed it it was kinda weird.. but its ok, smaller vision than stock ones, but its ok, (Im only talking about mine though, I dunno about others)

the reason why people dont see anything is probably because they messed up when they installed the mirrors to the mirror housings.

install the housing first, THEN put on the mirrors (when your inside the car so you can actually adjust it) because if you put the mirrors into the housing BEFORE putting the housing on the car, youre assed out. hmm hope that made sense..

The ones Im thinking of getting are replicas with the mirrors installed already.....

go to a glass shop and get new glass mirrors made that are smaller so they are more manuverable. i can see fine out of mine now, whereas before i was looking at the ground on my passenger side.

That's a good idea. With my roommates knock off mirrors, the glass was seperate. So he sat in the driver seat, and I did a bunch of test fits to make sure he could see out the pass side. Once he like the vision on that side, I stuck the mirror on, worked pretty good.

I didn't know these were not adjustables... I just ordered a pair...

what do you guys mean by "can't see ****!!" ?
you can't set it to where you like? or actually can't see ****?

the only problem with the spoon style ones is that you have to put the mirror in yourself. but after all they look pretty good on the car. here is a pic installed yesterday

they are adjustable -BlueGSR-, I did not say they werent.

what Im saying is that if you mess up on putting the mirrors on the housings, then even if you adjust them 1000x all day long, you still wont be able to see anything

I dunno about the mirrors youre getting. make sure before you pay the guy, you put the mirrors on your car first, try them on first like clothes, and see if it fits and you have visibility on both sides.

the knockoffs, allow you enough room to drill 3 new holes further back. if you re mount them further back you can correct the problems on both drivers and passengers. the spoons/visions never had that problem, so you could just buy the real ones.
