It's not (if you refer to it as a "defect"). It's your

use of stick-on convex mirrors.

Well, considering the side view mirrors are supposed to be for seeing your blind spots, these fail miserably at doing so. If it's not an engineering defect, then I don't know what you'd call it. Most people who can't drive think they need 3 mirrors to see directly behind them, so for all we know the engineers designed it for all the idiots out there. The stick on mirrors are ugly and tacky and I'd much rather not have them, but I drive in a lot of interstate traffic and they are very beneficial to have. Function before form, any day of the week. I'd rather not cause a wreck than look pretty doing it.

My 350z didn't need them.
