Smaller mirrors?

With some companies making carbon fiber replacements for the Z, you think one of them might make smaller more sportier looking side mirrors? I looked around but didn't find any.

The one one the Z right know are kind of big LOL. I know it's already hard enough to see anything with the blind spots an all, but I don't think smaller side mirrors won't make that much difference either.

I bet you ganador will be making some... but probably gonna be bank. What someone needs to sell is a blind spot eliminator mirror attachment... either a blinking led when someone is in your blindspot or a differently curved mirror that sits on the top the stock mirror and points at your blindspot.... that would be sweet...

I'm bumping this thread because the side mirrors are my biggest gripe with the 370. They are HUGE. Sometimes they can blot out entire cars. Anyone install slimmer mirrors yet?
