Midas and Autozone used to sell those things but I haven't seen them for yonks. I'm not sure if they were that successful .... after a while they became a bit opaque and also used to turn yellowish with ageing. :think:

Hmmm, might have to rethink that one then, thanks Andy.

It is a hell of a lot cheaper than a rear-view camera. Am I the only one struggling with the Vigo's terrible rear-blind-spot? I don't have that problem with the SFA.

I find it hard to believe that nobody in SA sells anything like this.

If there is enough interest so that we can share the shipping cost, I might be interested as well.

With little mods, these (see pikchas) may work well :mocking:

Seat - remove head rest, use existing one on your truck, extra arm rest for longer trips, extra cup holders for more Mother's Milk (excuse pun)

Shoes - to compensate for height length away from the pedals, may also help with co-driver and relationship in general

The beauty of these mods is not only are they relatively cheap, but when you sell the truck you can keep them :thumbup:
