370z needs better side mirrors

BLUESLATE

Smaller? Why not get APR universal CF mirrors?

Yeah, those are pretty cool, but I think I want something more stock looking.
I like the look of the stock mirror, it just needs to be about an inch smaller and lower so that is doesn't have blind spots while cruising parking lots or making low speed turns.

Great article Cliff! I have been using this method for years, and it works beautifully, especially if you keep aware of cars in the right or left lane relative to you, that are speeding past you into the blind spot...... you can track them from the rear view mirror, to the side view mirror to the edge of your peripheral vision outside the window.

Definitely works well. It's really funny... I went to visit my family over the summer and was allowed to use their Lincoln Town Car. My brother is exactly the same height as me, so, theoretically at least, we should see the same things while driving. I would borrow the car and adjust the mirrors, then when my brother got it the first thing he would do was look exasperated and change the mirrors back. The third or fourth time he said "Are you trying to drive me crazy?" I asked him, "Did the side of your car change in the last few blocks? 'Cause that's all you're looking at." He thinks I'm insane.

Really? So none of you like the light weight mirrors? Lots of track vehicles use these mirrors and I haven't heard anyone complain about these.

well... they might work if you did something about the carbon fiber plate. that is grade Si rice material right there but by the time you had real mounts made craftsquare will have their mirrors done.

I have no problem with the side view mirrors. As many mentioned here, with proper adjustments, they are more than enough for this car. Still, just to be in the safe side, I added blind spot mirror on the passenger side.

Why do people think these are so cheap and ugly looking? i think they look fine and make for a much safer view.

Did you make these yourself? Or where did you buy them? They look very useful.
