I am just six feet tall and I cannot see turning my head left. The head rest is in the way so I rely on the mirrors which is something I have never done before. Also, this may sound petty, I wish the mirrors would fold in. This car is wider than I thought and getting into the garage (7' wide) for me is tough sometimes.

I haven't had any issues with the mirrors being sub-par or anything. The blind spots took a little getting used to, but that's it. I prefer the "I'm driving past you so I know I can get over now" lane-changing technique.

lol

I got in my gf's 07 G35 coupe for the first time since I got my Z yesterday. I had no idea that the mirrors on it were so much smaller than mine. I believe the width is the same, but they are a whole lot shorter. Less blind spots in that car though, so it's a trade off.

In for some smaller mirrors

BLUESLATE · 02-02-2010, 05:34 AM

Smaller? Why not get APR universal CF mirrors?

Yeah, those are pretty cool, but I think I want something more stock looking.
I like the look of the stock mirror, it just needs to be about an inch smaller and lower so that is doesn't have blind spots while cruising parking lots or making low speed turns.
