Has anyone installed the aspheric mirror glass yet? I liked them on my BMW because the main portion of it was fairly flat so the image size was pretty close to being correct. However, this page http://www.toolworks.com/bilofsky/boxster/mirrors.html suggests that the Porsche aspheric mirror may be more convex than the standard passenger side convex mirror. If so, the image size will be very small throughout. Just curious if that's what people here have experienced. Thanks.

Agreed. I don't quite understand the need of putting extra mirrors on the car either.

I know a lot of people adjust their mirrors so that they could see a noticeable chunk of their own cars and miss out the important bits in the mirrors.
