First of all. Thank you all, the posts so far have helped me with all my Fit needs. So many have helped its not even funny. Now I have 2 new posts of questions (from a newbie driver and Fit owner) to help me out.

What type of blind spot mirror is better:
A. (small round or small square?)
B. What size of blindspot mirror for the Fit 2010?
C. Lastly what is the best spot on the side mirror to place it on, topleft, bottomleft, topright, or bottom right. (or other like middle left, etc).

I was planning to get two small blind spot mirrors for my driver and passenger side.
Been looking at other people's cars and everyone does it differently.

Please!

 

If your mirrors are adjusted properly, there will be no blind-spots, so no need to waste your money. See below.

That is a very very interesting article there. Thanks.

The only thing that worries me is my complex's parking lot is designed wrong so huge pillars appear inside the edge of half of the parking spaces. For me having the mirrors traditional helps me avoid scratching the side of my car. Most of the other cars in the complex have huge scratches from the pillars.
Still I am going to see if I can use that idea of non-traditional mirror placement and still park well here without gashing my fit.

Anyone else have additional advice, its always good to hear a lot of opinions.

 

The small stick on mirrors are cheap from Dollar Store. Try some to find where you like the placement.

 

I put blind spot mirrors on all 3 cars in my family and tried different things with each one. I read an article somewhere that you should stick the mirrors on the lower outside corner. Whoever wrote that article is an idiot. Putting the blind spot mirror on the lower corner takes up a whole chunk of your critical viewing area on the regular mirror, making it more difficult to see traffic behind you. I recommend putting it on the TOP outside corner. If you look at the top outside corner of your regular side mirror (without the blind spot mirrors), you'll notice that it usually reflects the sky anyway; putting the blind spot mirror there helps me use that area to increase my viewing field.

I also tried a couple of different blind spot mirrors. One set is just a simple circular convex mirror. The other sets are also circular and convex, but it is also slightly slanted. The slanted ones allow you to rotate it so that you can adjust the angle at which it slants. I like the simple mirrors better. Here are two links so you can visualize what I'm talking about.

Search on internet for the blind spots mirror over your std mirror (if you don't want to lose visibility in your mirror) or there are kinds of mirror aftermarkets for shure same shape as your original but with 3 differents specifications FLAT - CONVEX - WIDE ANGLE if someone of you try those would be appreciate your comments.

 

Thanks all. I actually am trying out the article moniz sent first.

Its taking a little getting used to, and it has only positive affects on parking on my odd parking lot. One thing I noticed is even with full 360 vision now, I still need to turn my head when changing lanes or pulling out as cars pop out of nowhere where I live, so its good to look directly where you are going.

I still plan to see if the blindspot mirrors come in handy at all some time in the next week or so.

 

Very interesting article. I can see how it would work but don't think I would like it. Ill try it later today when I go out and see how it works.

I have my mirrors set in the traditional way. I lean forward and look in the mirror if I want to pass without looking over my shoulder. Leaning forward changes the angle you see reflecting off the mirror and lets you see the blind spot. Try it. It works. Its really not a big deal to do since I don't need to pass that tight usually and always pay close attention to whats around me.
