I've got the M2 Runabout style mirrors on as well. I find vision in them pretty useless, but that's actually more due to where I sit and my dimensions... I think the problem is more particular to me. The window pillar on the left blocks a fair bit of my left one, however if you've taller and sit further back, you should be right.

I replaced my OEM ones with these as it was not much more to buy these (off Rupewrecht on Astinagt). I snapped my driver's side mirror off adjusting it for a motorkhana and just had a bolt through the whole thing holding it together. These were more for looks than anything else.

I don't use my mirrors that much. When I'm changing lanes, I do a shoulder check rather than use mirrors, so they're more there just to flick a glance to see what's behind for me.

On a side note: You can find OEM NA6 mirrors really easily, however they will cost close to a couple of hundred, even second hand / wreckers. Factor in painting too, as you may not be able to get a match easily. If you adjust them regularly (as mentioned, for motorkhanas or if you have multiple drivers) those threads will snap off in NA6 mirrors before long, and they're not an item you can take apart easily. It's one of the weak points on an NA6.

What threads? Just had mine apart for painting and the worst thing is that if the pivot bolt is rusty the whole thing will spin.
This makes it(almost) impossible to pull apart or tighten. I had to cut a hole in the back of the mirror and then fill it back up when I had tightened the bolt

Sorry, meant to say 'bolt' rusts. Had someone talking to me at the time I was thrashing the above out.

Mine rusted and in twisting the mirror, I had the entire mirror in my hand and other assorted bits lying on the ground in a Denilliquin paddock.

I got mine from RS Products directly, since Rev9 just get the stock from them anyway. As far as I know, production has stopped or is running low, so there's not much in stock. Contact Mako Hatanaka at rs_products@hotmail.com and just ask for it directly. It cost me 28,700YEN shipped, so it's about AU$350
