Will this fit my factory mirror stalk or bracket?

The universal bracket adapts to most standard mirror mounts, but your specific vehicle's attachment point should be test-fit first. If factory mounting won't work cleanly, the bracket can be adapted with basic hardware or adhesive backing depending on your mirror's shape.

Does the wide-angle view create obvious distortion?

Convex curves always compress the view slightly to gain that extra width, but optical-grade construction keeps distortion minimal. Objects appear a bit smaller and farther than they are—standard for any panoramic mirror. You'll adjust to the perspective within a few drives.

Can I clean and maintain this the same way as my factory mirror?

Yes. Use mild soap and a soft cloth like you would any glass mirror. The hard panel resists UV breakdown, so it won't yellow or cloud faster than OEM glass under normal conditions.
