craftsquare mirors where can I purchase?

The factory mirrors create aline of sight problem. Nissan should have craftsquare type mirrors.

CraftSquare mirrors are not better than OEM, the viewing area is too small.

OEM's are perfectly fine once you properly align them.

Craftsquares look good, but they do no improve visibility over stock. I've been in a few cars with GT mirrors, including Craftsquares and they're a bitch in everyday use. On top of that, if you do get them, expect to be adjusting your mirrors at least once a week, especially if you ever park the car in a public lot. (People just seem to love to knock into them and throw them out of alignment.)

I don't like the oem mirrors. They are way too big and (I think) leave blind spots. I also have spot mirrors on them.
I wish there were alternatives, but I haven't found them yet.
I like the size of the craftsquare's, but not the looks. They just don't match the car (imo). And I don't like the price.
If anybody knows of any good alternatives, I would love to hear about them!!

I guess I'm in the camp of if it ain't broke don't fix it. In other words, I like my oem mirrors, just my 2 cents. I like how it matches the car, plus it's heated and powered.

I've heard good things about these. My wife is thinking about them for her Mini (tiny mirrors). Doesn't solve the size / placement issue, but should help with blindspots.

Multivex Mirrors - The Most Optically Advancec Vehicle Mirror Systems Ever Developed

I don't see the 370Z listed, but I'm guessing they either (a) make them or (b) would make them since they have them for the 350.

really? i just glance over without turning my head and i can see everything. i luv this thing. never going back to stock.


i wouldnt use this on a dd car though as i can see someone hitting the mirror with their bag or purse or something and change angle while parked somewhere.
