Blind spots

Small circle mirrors on the top, outer corner of your windows will elimnate all blind spots! Plan on putting them on my Z tommrow!

Yeah...I'm a fairly short guy myself...around 5'6 or so...I'm used to limited visibility but this car takes the cake. The only thing thats new for me is being completely unable to make any use of the drivers side portal window...beyond that, its business as usual. Drive as you normally would; set your mirrors for functionality, and don't rely exclusively on them. Turning your head and checking out the rear is a must...its something you will pick up and adapt to with the vehicle...but if you test drive it and don't think you can deal with it...

Yeah, dots are kind of ghetto though. I'd have to give a lot of thought if I want to do that or not!

If it was shaped as the end of the mirror instead of round-dots (more like the truck-mirrors, though hopefully less guady and without the huge black plastic borders), I'd consider it more.

Yeah, it may look a little wierd, and you don't have to get them in the circle shape, however, if it saves me from merging into someone, and wrecking my beautiful Z, then, hey, it is the best $2.00 investment I can make.

You mean "of your side mirrors", don't you?
