Default Would you use a corvette part?

I am getting a little sick and tired of having to tilt my head to look at the stop lights in the city. What about one of those dash mounted mirrors from a vette

The roof is in the way? I'd say go for it then. Use anything that helps...

Get a Lightinsight. They're only about $15. Great product. Great service. Their web site: LightInSight.com
Tell Brian that Adrian recommended this product.

Free Style,
Are too tall and like Viper GTS stated, the roof is in your way? Or is it the Left Hand Blind spot created by the mirror that eliminates you from seeing the Medians in the road when turning left?

I assume what you're referring to is the Heads Up Display on the C5 and C6. Sorry, it's not a mirror. However, it does reflect the information onto the windsheald..... So I guess it is a mirror sorta.

Like I said, LightInSight will solve this problem. It's a small (1.5 X 6 in) flexible plastic prism that self sticks to the top of the windshield. Works great.

Ok I think I got ya, the LightInSight with a dash mounted mirror. Im a short s*ht, so I really dont have the prob. Heck too me a few days to figure out that the power seat goes DOWN. I sat there and was counting the "8 way" and only came up with 6 hahha. The way the seat was orginally set I could not comfortably resy my arm on either the window sill or the arm rest, it was right in the middle. What I generally do is stop a few feet short of the white line and let the guy on the other side roll up enough to check out the front of the Magnum hahaha.

Simple, just do what I do.

Learn to stop a little short of the traffic lights, especially the overhead lights.

I always brake short and then pull up slowly to the light so that I can just see the bottom light, or the green light.

Works for me,

Bob
