I installed euro-style side mirror glasses. Much better looking IMO, and safer because they take care of the blind spot.

Here's How To: Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots - Feature - Car and Driver
That's why the article says how to avoid blind spots. Not how to reduce blind spots.
When set up correctly, this is what would happen. The passing car will always be visible in one of your mirrors, up to the point where you will see them right next to your car as they are passing you:

I put my wagon back to stock. Putting the stock ownpipes in was just as bad as fitting the ARs in, but the FMIC and charge pipe were a breeze. I miss the power already.
...Then I posted the parts for sale in the classifieds section.

No worries. However, even when you setup your car that way there's still a little bit of blind spot because our american mirrors loose some surface to the black trim around them and our headrests being so wide (at least it seems that way to me).
What I really like about these side mirrors is the clean look without that black trim around them.
I agree that more people should learn how to adjust their mirrors as they do not need to be looking at the side of their car...we all know where our car is

Not to rib you too much, but you know if you adjusted your mirrors correctly, you wouldn't actually have a blind spot?

I'm all for everything Euro. I blacked out my front orange reflectors, and often debadge the back of my cars. The mirrors look great.
