I am wondering if any of you use an additional stick on mirror to aid in the mirror use to view blind spots?
If so, do you use a rectangular add on, or circular add on?

I don't think the Sc has any blind spots...... and after driving an IS, you won't either.

Yeah, there really aren't any blind spots with the SC. one of the reasons I love it.
like LexAnt said, those could be useful to avoid curb rash. I know around here the Taco Bell drive thru's are a PITA. tight turns + high curbs + tiny lanes = ASKDJFLKJFDSL

ever since i started driving i have always used the circle ones that you can rotate to adjust... and now it just feels weird when i drive a car without one. there really great. and like everyone said.... perfect for the curbs!

I like it....

i used the first one i think... any local auto store will have them.... get the slimmest regular circle. it won't look bad. always good to use when trying to stay away from the curbs

I have these mirrors on both my driver and passenger sides on every car I have ever owned.

There are blinds spots no matter what car you drive and these mirrors, althought quite
ugly if you really pay attention, are vital to easy lane changes. I can see behind me without
ever needing to turn my head. That makes my driving much safer.

They work. Period.

Amen to that bro!

I hate the flat mirrors on mine (fitted to pass Australian compliance laws).
