The only soution I can think of is to have a mirror custom made, apply adhesive to the back and smoosh it on top of the stock plane mirror. That should look nice. I heard that you have to use the plane mirror in the US though, any other kind is illegal. More nonsense.
I am used to aspherical mirrors on cars since I can began to drive, its only the US that makes me angry when I cannot actually see a car in the left lane if its half way the length of my car.

The other stupid bit is that the passenger mirror says objects in the mirror are closer than they appear, NO chit sherlock, we know that - its obvious unless someone with the IQ of a gerbil is driving.
