What do you think of this product, or something like this:

Blind Spot Elimination Mirror - Exterior Accessories - Car Accessories - Griot's Garage

I'd be looking at getting two for my Hyundai, wanted peoples opinion if they have tried something like this.

Nice product... lousy price...

20 bucks?

Go to Autozone or similar and pick up the stick on versions - 4 or 5 bucks I think.

What!? $1.99 MAX! Since it doesn't need be optically perfect, get it at a dime store... I think I got mine for $1.19, probably Target.

I'll agree it's a nice product. The stick ons mentioned, generally speaking, are quite small. You have to peer intently at the small stickons. You can purchase a larger one but it takes up space on your mirror. This thing, according to the above, is 4 1/2-in. wide and 2 1/4 in high, so it has some size going for it plus it's mounted above. It dwarfs the smart mirror though. So it boils down to getting something you feel comfortable, and confident, in using.

AGREED !

I got the 2" stick ons for $1.29 each; I use them on all my 4 wheelers

Sticking up, how vulnerable are they to being knocked off (or stolen)?
There are pros and cons to the stick ons. Primary 'con' is that they cover part of the conventional mirror with a smaller mirror that offers a less visible view - just a quick reference to detect that other vehicle lurking. Less usable at night because the small image won't give a very clear impression of the vehicle if you don't see the vehicle's lights. I suspect the one mentioned in this thread would give a much clearer view.

All of tha said, I've been using the cheap stick ons for years. Rather have them than not.
