I added one on the r/s of my 67, I like the way it makes the looks balanced out.
The key for actual usefulness is to make sure of the correct mounting location. It's farther back than the l/s mirror by several inches. I asked on here where it should be located and all the responses said "even with the drivers side" which was wrong. I drilled the holes based on that, the mirror is useable but slightly blocked by the A-pillar. To make the mirror completely useable it has to be mounted in the correct location.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

I guess I am spoiled by having two mirrors on my newer cars. My driveway is very narrow and I need a right side mirror to park into my garage,and to paralell park downtown.
I was taught to back into my parking spaces--not drive in.So a right side mirror I feel is necessary.
If you get a correct looking mirror,use it for what it is and not worry about what others think Plus it may save some embarrassment and avoid any boo-boo's

Any time I drive my car to work, 35 highway miles one way, I curse that it doesn't have a pass side mirror. If you plan to drive it with any regularity, I'd put one on.
I can't afford this.

Every car I own has dual mirrors. How people drove without them is beyond me. Even backing in and out with my project dart I mounted it up to prevent an accident.

I don't have a choice now. I am 10% blind in my right eye. My drivers license actually says that I am required to have dual mirrors???? I have never seen that before or heard of anyone having that on a license. The funny thing is, I am blind in that eye's vision up by the bridge of my nose. My periphial vision and straight ahead is just fine. What the right eye misses, the left eye picks up anyway. Now for the OP's question, I think it should look fine.
