I'm not knocking Craft Square. I just know that for blind-spot mirrors, having them built in, like the Fords, is awesome. I had them on my Focus, quite handy, and my wife even complimented them! She is not a car person at all, so getting any kind of positive reaction is a plus.

yah, im sure they are very functional. if they could rid the line like modern bifocal glasses that would be even better.
not that i wear bifocals... (yet? :ugh:)

if blind spots keep you from buying a car then your priorities are wacky.

that being said the Z does have issues, but nothing a slight move of the head doesnt fix.

We need carbon fiber periscope for our cars because we so low...... :)

you mean curb feelers? :ugh:

Meh... they're photoshopped anyway ;)

:eekdance: mr.jar knowz all my secrets....:eekdance:

What blind spot? I need to get in touch with JENZ to get some these made up me thinks..

When I was learning to drive, quite a few (almost always) older people in my hometown had these on their car. My friends and I always got quite the giggle when we'd spot a car with curb feelers on both sides.

Nope. Craftsquare. They are tits.

:rofl2: yah, i remember seeing them on cars in my youth too. :icon17:

That's how they are supposed to be used in the first place. So many people were taught the wrong way. I was also taught to use the side view mirrors to look back but that's what the center rear view mirror is for :tiphat:

Hideous! The whole damn thing. It could be salvaged with some fishing line or dental floss though...

I'd love to know if the side mount exhaust is real, or if those are stick on parts as well.

Edit: Found more pics, definitely fake, ******* tool.

yah, when i ran the stock mirrors i had no trouble with blind spots either.
but the left mirror housing was blocking the view while i was making
left-hand turns so that was my reason for getting the cs.

the convex lens that they come with was just an added bonus.
no need to shoulder check any more.

My passenger side mirror is "out" all the way, and the driver's side is out pretty far, to minimize the blind spots.

It's not a sedan with tons of glass or anything but you can manage it.

Proper way to set mirrors..
 

There is only one way to properly set mirrors in any car........

For the driver side mirror, roll up the window and press your head against the glass. Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the edge of the car. For the passenger side mirror, place your head in the center of the car (directly behind the inside mirror mount) and adjust the outside mirror so that you can just see the edge of the car. This is necessary even with convex (curved) mirrors where the image is distorted a little. When you’re in your normal driving position, you won’t be able to see the sides of the car but will be able to see other vehicles in the adjacent lanes. - See more at: How To Adjust Your Side-View Mirrors

I just pull up next to a car on a side street. I put the car in the "blind spot" and then adjust the mirror. It's not that hard.

Blind Spot mirrors -- Any recos?
 

I'm going to go hunt for a set of blind spot mirrors.
Wondering if anyone has found any they like and look okay.

For those who don't know the term, something like this:

you drive a SUV?

You know what's interesting? I just test drove a 2014 370z because my 2012 magnetic black not being metallic irritates me to the point I'm thinking about trading it in and just buying a new metallic one, and I noticed I think the mirrors on the 2014 are MUCH bigger width wise then what I have on my 2012.

There's really no noticeable blind spot at all anymore. Buy a 2014 and don't worry about a thing man. The Z of today (2014) has better mirrors and windows then my daily driver....prius.

you sure they are "much bigger" and not just using a more convex lens?
anyone have a side by side comparison?

i cant image why they would make it even bigger when the mirror was already obstructing view for left-hand turns.

I have the one inch convex mirrors that I placed on the far bottom corner of both mirrors, have had them in all my rides therefore I'm used to them :driving:

What blindspot?

I have Zoom Engineering mirrors. Works well. But if you rely on the heated mirror feature, you will no longer be able to use it. It is a convex mirror that fits over your stock mirrors.

I think they are bigger width wise but I could be wrong, I was just test driving so I didn't get out with a tape measure to find out. But I don't think I'm mistaken.

Really? Hmmm. I wonder if they are convex?

I'll have to take a look.

I have not had any issues with blind spots. Either I drive too fast to have any car in there long enough or I used the information provided to properly adjust my mirrors.

Blind spot? I don't know how that little mirror on my car is gonna help others see me coming up from behind.

With or without mirrors I'm always aware of my surroundings.............GL..

you zoom in on the tiny reflection while you rear end the car in front of you. :tup:

I have the zoom engineering mirrors, they help a lot and look good, they also have a slight blue tint to help at night

I used to need blind spot mirrors until I realized having a bad driving habit.

Long story short: I used to position my side mirrors in a way, that showed my car's body when looking in them. I eventually figured out this was sorta of silly: if something was that close to me, there'd be no way to avoid it. 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.

I know that doesn't work for everyone, but I think I'm not the only person who positions their mirrors in a way that "shows too much of your own car" in them.

Nice! Did not know this existed.
Looking at their website it says this:
"Note: These mirrors were designed for RHD vehicles, which come convex on the driver side. LHD vehicles will require extra double sided tape on the passenger side to cover the gap in between (extra tape not included). Failure to use proper mounting may result in the mirror becoming disconnected, causing damage to the mirror."

Did either of you have any issues since this kit is for RHD?

Here's the link I think?
ZOOM Engineering Blue Side View Mirrors - 370Z

Somebody forgot to tell my 2014.

I can't comment on the comparison with earlier models, but my 2014 definitely has blind spots--at least for me.

I do the mirror adjustment method, I do not have blind spots anmore. Just need to do a quick glance in the mirror, no car, swith lanes.
How To: Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots - Feature - Car and Driver

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.


lol

What do you mean?


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%.

suv's usually come with those from the factory.

maybe its the stupid red stripe that is making the mirror seem wider.

Isn't that only on the 2015 Nismo?
