Is that much different from just turning your mirror down when you back up into the spot? Or are you looking for some reassurance for your front wheel?

i have ssr type-c on my other car and rare volks on my sc i learned how to parallel park with the art of practice... never curb them for 3-4 year straight now still looks like how i got them brand new... and yeah the power mirrors helps a lot.. for night conditions its more cheaper to install puddle lights so that you can see the curb at night using the power mirrors also.

i agree..isnt turning your mirror down just about the same as mounting it there? thats what i do in rare cases..plus parallel parking isnt all that hard

If you're really serious about this, i say mount a camera in the bottom of your side mirrors. Kinda like how they have puddle lights in the bottom of the IS/GS mirrors.

Although, it probably wont help you at night.
