Swans are OK I guess, but the stock driver's side mirror allows one to make fine adjustments while still behind the wheel.

Indeed I'm guessing that adjusting them to the right possition is a pain.
In the car, look , adjust, back in the car, look, adjust.
Or how do you guys do it 
I will see when I get there  |

And 5 out of 5 are euros! Gotta like that clean euro look. And the color selection is pretty nice too. |

They are an acquired taste like some accessories... I haven't acquired it yet..... It's like whirbulators..... They screw up the look of the car rather than enhance it in my opinion. But then it took me 6 years to buy a bud vase because I liked the stock dash better.  I'm Accesophobic I think.
