I can't believe the coverage! I can see over my left shoulder. I see out my rear driver side window! 180 degrees visual in the back.

are you talking about a cap for where the mirror was on the door? I made some today but I'm only 90% happy, I made my own by cutting a 4" round plate but I didn't weld the 3/8 shields on too good, They are a bit off centre. Enough to still see the line the base of the mirror makes, Also on the passenger side I was spaced out and tightened too much so the plate bent a bit. Nice from a-far but far from nice... :(
Luckily it cost me nothing, I would love a better solution to get them shields to be perfectly in line.
