There are many different ways to remove the convex mirrors on your OEM mirrors. First, you can heat up the convex mirror with a hair dryer on high for about 30 seconds. Before doing that, be sure the use painter's tape to tape the mirror around your side mirror to prevent it from popping off and shattering! Also, to remove the left-over residue/adhesive on your mirror use some goo-gone/goo-off (if there's a lot) or some windex (for little residue).
If the mirror does not pop or slide off after using the heat from the hair dryer, use some dental floss to "shave" it off. Just gently slide the floss behind the mirror and proceed to remove the adhesive. Tip: Be gentle and patient!
Good luck!

Why are objects in a car mirror closer than they appear?
There is a plane mirror on the driver's side and a convex mirror on the passenger's side. The reason only the passenger mirror is convex is because you are farther away from it. The angular view provided by farther mirror of the same physical size produces a similarly smaller reflected field of view. The convex mirror provides a larger field of view- one that should be comparable to the closer drivers mirror.
