Anyone here with a blind spot mirror? Can you snap a shot of your and show us what it looks like. I'm looking at buying one and with the various shapes and sizes it would be nice to see what others have in making a decision.
Thanks!

All the nnbs mirrors are the same size (but for the hd obviously), the BZA is just a little image of two cars etched in the mirror. But it's not as simple as simply swapping mirrors. You have to also get the module and have the computer programmed for it.

He's referring to the mirrors itself, not the warning system. Ya know, the little disc sized mirrors you get at the auto parts store that stick on to your mirrors?

I do not see a need for one on these trucks. Have you tried adjusting the mirrors so at least the sides of the truck do not show up?

IMO your mirrors are not adjusted properly (could just be the angle of the photo). The mirrors should be adjusted so that you cannot see the side of the vehicle at the very least.

Pretty sure that the camera was not where the drivers head would normally be while driving. Looks like the camera is down by the door sill, which will in essence change the angle of what you are seeing.

I wish chevy would do like ford and build these in to the mirrors. I hated it when I first got my explorer, but now I can't live without them! :D
