Default Euro-split DS mirror?

The Touring has a giant blind spot on the driver's side. My old VW Jetta also used to have a terrible blind spot. I found a replacement mirror (just the glass) that snaped into place for the Jetta. It was essentially normal mirror glass that had a vertical crease that brought the outer third of the glass in at about a 10 degree angle. It was called a "euro-split" mirror and I guess is standard over there. It worked perfectly and didn't involve one of those stupid stick on round convex mirrors.

Here is a link to a photo: http://oemplus.com/images/B6_MkV_Spl...ror_Blue01.jpg

Does anyone know if anything like that is available for the 09/10 Pilot?

Why not just go to an auto parts store and slap one of those round convex mirrors on?

Because, in my opinion, they look unbelievably stupid.

Never seen anything like that. Great idea if you can find something that looks good and works, post back.

My dad has a convex mirror, its a great way to kill off blind spots

I have my mirrors faced all the way out so that I barely catch a glimpse of the side of the vehicle and though that helps a bit, this would be a really great idea.
