Blind spot mirror

A blind spot mirror configured to attach to a face of a side mounted automobile mirror, thereby providing an enhanced view, consisting essentially of:

• a) a mirror including a reflective layer disposed across an interior surface of the mirror;
• wherein an exterior surface of the mirror does not include a reflective layer;
• b) a mirror housing, comprising:
• b1) a cavity sized to receive the mirror;
• b2) a plurality of rectangular-column support posts extending upwardly from a bottom surface of the cavity and disposed along a perimeter wall of the cavity;
• wherein the perimeter wall extends from a bottom surface and the perimeter wall and bottom surface form the cavity;
• and
• b3) a plurality of protrusions extending inwardly from the perimeter wall of the cavity and spaced above a top surface of a support post;
• wherein the plurality of protrusions extends over the plurality of rectangular-column support posts;
• c) a base coupled to a rear surface of the mirror housing including a flat rear surface configured to couple to a face of a side mounted automobile mirror;
• and
• d) a ball and socket coupling member coupled to the base and the mirror housing and configured to functionally pivot the mirror housing about the side mounted automobile mirror.
