I ended up buying a set of these... Took about a week from order to having them in my hands. They are of decent quality.. prolly not worth $65 but very few Z mods are really worth the ransom companies are asking for them anyways..

Easy to install.. but the 3m mounting tape they give you is soooo thick that the mirror sort of sticks out a little if you use it..I opted for some stronger and thinner 3M double sided sticky tape at home depot.. The mirror is also slightly curved and not flat like the stock mirror.. no biggie, you can't tell once it's on..

If you look quickly, you can't really tell anything is different.. It's blue but for some reason if you are not driving you don't really notice the blue..It does effectively cut down on the glare of headlights at night but it also makes everything just a tiny bit darker during the day and night.. Both sides are "closer than they appear." This takes some getting used to as it's harder to judge how far a car is away from you now on the driver's side..

Overall, I can say that it does give you more visibility (because of the wide angle) and cuts on the glare but has trade-offs.. I've owned an Audi with factory "euro" mirrors and these are nothing like those..The ones on the Audi seemed to be blue also but auto dimming or something...

I had to bump this thread since I could not locate the Level covers and also sent BAT a PM to see if he ever made these. Anyone have any of those Level blue covers they want to get rid of...

I've looked for them too with no luck. Here in SoCal everyone seems to have an SUV with the highbeams hard wired on from the factory.

See I live in Los Angeles in a area with about 98% latinos. I noticed that most latinos have a liking to big SUV's with those bulbs that shine right on my mirror so it annoys me to no end....I need those blue tinted convex mirrors
