You get the thread on the vehicles Blind Spots that everyone complains about, now it becomes the mirrors are to big. Seems kind of odd. Knowing what's behind you is just as important to what is in front of you.

this has noting to do with 3/4 blind spots. Some people don't like adjusting their mirrors properly so they can see adjacent lanes (my friend likes seeing a little of his car) so lack of usable C windows has made this a bigger issue in the 370. But my blind spots are fine, I just need better 1/4 visibility

I've griped about the blind spots from the quarter window, but mirrors don't really help that view. And the only time it's an issue is when I'm pulling out of a parking spot. So therefore, smaller mirrors are still desired.

Not really what's behind you - so much as what's next to you.

I couldn't care less about what's behind me.

Don't have blind spots beside or behind me (except short people or cars) but I do to my right. I stopped at mall intersection, looked left, checked right and pulled out. The guy coming on my was very unhappy about using his brakes, mentioned something about my relatives. So I now look right, left and right one more time.

Still wondering if anyone knows whether the 350Z mirrors will fit on the 370Z mirror mounts. Better yet if someone's already tried it.

I too want smaller side mirrors. Each time I'm making a lefthand turn I feel like I'm driving with my eyes closed. Its a safety concern for me.

I can see the rearsides just fine.

Anyone know when the Craft ones are coming our for the 370Z? I don't want any univeral fit one.

ganador doesn't use carbon...in fact, they are the absolute worst carbon type pattern I've ever seen. It looks like it belongs in a pepboys isle next to the generic colored wire loom stuff
