Design or function wise they do little. It is just to possess a JDM piece(I'd not do a replica)that makes it all worthwhile. Did the same on front JDM canards on my Z33. A rite of passage and dollars. Yes,for us car guys--well worth it. |

I think you will be in the minority too because they are very functional and not just a look at me mod. I love having greatly increased visibility not only to the sides of the car but the forward visibility of losing the gigantic oem mirror. |

I track my car and these type mirrors are way better than oem. There is a reason these type of mirrors are on real race cars. Also if you own a Z, you are already in the look at me club.

Madwi and Hotrodz both make excellent points.
JDM is definitely not a priority for me. But better visibility both forward and rearward is a huge benefit for functionality as well as safety. Not to mention the OEM mirrors are just fugly.
