What makes them better than regular ones?

>>16641066
They're worse since some safety tests require mirrors to be intact throughout the entire ordeal. Also, its not as aerodynamically favorable as normal mirrors.

And i might be wrong here but I personally think (never used fender mirrors) they're harder to set up for daily driving

No blind spot.

No blind spots, and you don't have to turn your head to look into either one, so your eyes face more forward and less of not in front of you.

Adjusting them must be a lot of fun.

Since late '70s almost all of them are motorized.

No blind spot.
Also can see the flare of your fender which helps a lot in narrow streets.

Because it's JDM KAWAII DESU =^__^=

Everything also looks tiny. So, tradeoff.

I once saw a brown Civic with fender mirrors, a fake racing fuel cap and the largest fartcan ever. I wanted to throw up on it. Fender mirrors are only acceptable on old cars.

Also, fender mirrors can be mounted more inboard for the same field of view. This makes cars fit into narrower spaces/streets.

To look into them, and see the dumbass looking back at you
