Blind spot side view mirrors

Does anyone know the brand of those side view mirrors that eliminate the blind spot. Not the cheap ones you stick on with double sided tape. I'm looking for the ones that are a replacement of the actual mirror and have the outer edge angled more. An actual line can be seen where the glass is turned.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

chaud is infamous around these parts
I believe Porsche makes those... They are the aspheric mirror set. You should be able to get them through the dealerships... Suncoast also carries them on their website...

I put convex mirrors on both my side mirrors and they work great.

Years ago I took a defensive driving course that taught me to adjust my left mirror to see the blindspot. You simply put your face near the side window and adjust out to see the normal view. Took a while to get used too but has kept me out of trouble changing lanes since. I do this with every rental I step into as well, many of these have horibble blind spots (little mirrors and large door pillars).
