That's what I was initially thinking. It looks like the solution above might be cleaner. We'll see.

Same. My main problem is the passenger side I feel like I have a massive blind spot there at the 5'oclock angle.

lulz. No one comes up from behind. But when I'm passing someone, I want to be able to see when I'm clear to get over. Also for parking lots and such.

I now position my side mirrors, where they don't show the body of my car, but would if I just moved them a centimeter over.

Poof. No more blindspots.
This is a good tip. I've done the same. I've always in the past made my mirrors show just a little of my car for a reference point, but on the Z I've moved them way out which helps. I still feel like I'm not confident in lane changes though.

This is good. I might need to just play with it more to get comfortable. My last car I could just turn my head and look, I didn't have to rely on mirrors 100%.
