Tried the large overhead mirrors an was never happy with them.
For proper clearance the bottom has to be 8' high and if it close to the entrance the customers strain to look up and see the hood of the car but not the tire. Some specs reccoment it be 20' from the entrance for a good sight line. That means the image is like looking 40'.
Have now gone with the convex mirror. It's about 8' in from the entrance with the top about 6' high and about 3' over to the side. Tried one for a while and liked it so much I have now gotten one at the other locations as well. Lots cheaper than the overhead as well.
