Yes they are convex which is why its able to cover the blindspot regions well

Convex - They are also lousy. I suggest you buy some from an auto parts store like Autozone or possibly WalMart so you at least see what level of quality you are buying.

They are more 'glossy' than 'matte', but not shiny-glossy yet nor are they flat-matte either. Sort of in-between. If you scroll over the pic (zoom in), it is a very good representation of how they actually look when light hits them.

That is correct. One side is magnified and the other is a standard mirror. Hope this helps. Bob

These are flat. It works better than angled ones when you need to bust something loose. I have both styles and prefer these.

They are rectangular and flat. Very little interference with placement of stuff.

Flat nothing from what I see is beveled.They work great no issues yet. I have had mine roughly a year.

The reflectors are FLAT. They are approximately 0.5" thick on the top (reflector) side and approximately 0.5" thick on the bottom (wing bolt) side.

It is glass, it is CONVEX! I cannot believe all the answers that say it is flat. Use a straight edge! It is ever so slightly convex... just right in my never to be humble opinion. Love this mirror. Mount down and in to avoid damage. It is protected, and you can actually see better. You look below your arm, instead of trying to see around it, and it is much safer from damage. My first one, in the enclosed picture, was broken by a friend BEFORE I mounted it "down and in".

The curve provides a wider angle,view however, it does distort the distance perspective between your vehicle and the ones in the mirror. As Meatloaf said, "objects in the rear view mirror may be closer than they are" . I prefer the flat mirror due to the more accurate perspective. Matter of personal preference.

Not really sure but they are very thin compared to others on the market so there is not much to see which is why I bought them. They do not stick out at all from my mirror.

They are slightly rounded. In my opinion they are well worth the money.I am well pleased.

They are straight stem Damon. I had to return mine because I needed offset ones, and as you noted, it's hard to tell from the picture. Chuck

Hi, this mirror is designed to be just like the original mirror you would currently have.Convex mirror (curved lens) with etched words in glass (objects are closer...)

Real. They replaced two round mirros on my bike. One was real and one was convex. The convex was much better. However, sice these mirrors are wider than the round shape I had, I'm quite satisfied with them disputed them being real. The vibration is also much more minimal even though they aren't weighted, but I think that's because they are shorter. Overall I'm very satisfied with these.

Unless they've changed their design, they should be clear -- mine were. I think if they were "milky", they would be described as opaque.

I think they lie flat. My wife didn't like them and they were never installed.

The mirror I bought 4 years ago is not convex - it is a simple flat mirror. The design may have changed since I bought mine.
