Maybe they wouldn't be so useless if the mirrors were Miata mirrors

According to a statistic I just made up in my head, side mirrors are 80% of a car's drag. You would be foolish if you DIDN'T remove your side mirrors. Get to it.

No! Next question.

Realistically, all mirrors are obstructions which interfere with proper vision.
As well, I use limo tint on the windshield to shield me from the suns glare.
Just common sense!

Why stop at limo tint. Use paint and you could color match your windshield to the body.

I think the whole alien on the hood takes away any aerodynamic gains shaving the review mirrors added

do you think the owner has any problems with board patrol?

Yes, please remove them.

However, your Z will simply become too aerodynamic and may open up a wormhole through the fabric of space-time. I'd suggest just garaging it indefinitely after this modification, for everybody's sake.

I see that you're in NJ. Just let me know when you're on the road so that I can stay home during those times .... :ugh:

Speaking of, I only let Michael J Fox make my martinis, because I like them shaken, not stirred.
