Aspherical Mirrors/ROW Mirrors

memorylasts · 11-25-2010, 12:14 AM

So, I come from a vastly euro market and these mirror were easy to get a hold of was wondering if anyone has them, or can tell me where to get them, i think they would be a great benefit, as the inner ~80% is like normal mirror and then the last ~20% is bowed a bit so you can see further.

Similar to these, but these are for a MKV GTI/Golf (yes i stole the image from oemplus.com)

Any input is appreciated, this isn't a WTB thread but a want to find where i can buy...

TIA

Thank you! Thats a start, if i can i want to try and acquire oem pieces. If oem doesn't pan out then i guess i will have to try and get these I would rather not have the blue tint.

Multivex makes wide angle mirrors for many cars. Not available for the 370Z yet.

am i the only one who has noticed that the OEM drivers side mirror is already slightly bowed? I noticed it the day I got the car. when cars pass in oncoming and i look at them in the drivers mirror, they appear wider than they really are, then look normal again when i can see them in the interior rear view.

memorylasts · 11-30-2010, 04:00 AM

It is slightly, but not to what im looking for I guess you could say, i am looking for both mirror to be similar to the one i posted, no blue tint and for both passenger and drivers side. Nothing like driving in lane three and being able to see lanes 1-5. In europe and other countries they require these, generally on one side. I would like to get both sides which make it more complicated?

and OEM pieces...

I bet the hearters in the mirrors will not work with these.....

the mirrors on our cars are so huge that if you have them set up right, there really aren't any blind spots.

You are exactly right ! just like we have discussed in other threads here....but a lot of people here just refuse to do that.....no matter how many times we tell them how to set their mirrors to avoid the blind spots. I can tell you this, the rear and side vision problems were much worse in the 240Z and in 1970 there were no motors in mirrors and no rear view cameras

You live in a warm climate......a lot here have to use their heated mirrors....you dont . I think that the responses on this forum at least helped to get the heated mirrors added as a standard feature on the Z. I dont think these mirrors will not work with the heated mirrors, at least not fast enough to be of use. That was my only question. So far it shows that you have had about 500 views of this thread......Not too bad since this has been the topic of discussion here qjuite a few times before.

I dont think most here would want those ugly mirrors on thier cars.......That is just my opinion....we will see what others think

Yeah, okay I have had 500 views glad people have their own opinion, I'm trying to find oem pieces that are silver not blue...I'm looking for a peice I havnt seen on the forum. Seeing if someone can point me to a vender that can help. After all this is my first Japanese car, so I'm not aware if there are any specialist importers like my example in the first post... I'm not looking for an opinion, I'm simply looking for a part. To be specific an OEM part and if it is not made then this is a waste of a thread and my time.

Also the VW ones I posted are not for a Nissan as I said it is just a reference image. Thanks again.

I am an OEM+ modder I make the surface look like it hasn't been touch while everything has been massaged in on way or another. Opinions are as good as lint, I'm looking to track down a company or for a lead of someone willing to send me a set from another country and or piece them together...

Also a bit about the warm climate have you ever used your heated mirrors in the rain, oh what a difference. Yeah I might live in San Diego, but am not from here. I am well aware of what other uses they have being from NY. And what does location have to do with anything? Both leads posted in the thread a linked to mirrors cut to original shape, the first one even has heaters, the problem is I am not a fan of the blue or the fact they are non-OEM.

All I'm asking for is help, thanks for bumping the thread!
