craftsquare mirors where can I purchase?

The Multivex mirrors would solve the problem but they don't make them for the 370Z. They wanted a fair amount of money just to create them.

Mirrors? What's that? I just change lanes whenever I want. It seems to work just fine... I don't even have to waste my time to look over my shoulder.

What if the mirrors were taken off, side panel filled in with a wide angle camera added to each side?

Why don't you just point your side mirrors out toward your "blind" spots, and use your rear-view mirror for what is behind you. I have no blind spots on the road, aside from cars that are two lanes over and slightly behind me.

Or is the problem just that they are too big for people's liking?

Funny how one says blind spot and people automatically assume they're talking about the reflection blind spot.

Armonster · 08-22-2011, 09:14 PM

Funny how people who are taller than 5' 6" can see over the side mirrors just fine.

Hey! I resemble that!!! (i.e I'm 5'5" and have to lean forward on occasion)

Funny how some newb tries to cover up their shortcomings by changing story.

kenchan, I really want to see some pics of your car. I've never see a 370z with Craftsquares before (besides the MCR car). Do you have any recent ones?

I had a variety of responses to this, but even as a newb I know you're not worth the trouble. It's better just to admit that one has been kenchaned and move on.

dang, it's like EazyD's pulllng down my pants or something. lol

i've mentioned this on other threads and will mention this again. this mirror is great for weekend cars/hobby cars/track cars but i dont recommend it for dailydrivers especially for those that park at stores, etc.

the mirrors' angles are adjusted at the pivot point/joint manually. it comes with a lock nut to either lock down completely (race mode) or partially lock (street mode). if you lock the pivot point all the way and if some fatarse chick bumps it with her michelin-style back or her pallet of donuts or watever, the CF mirror housing could potentially break.

everytime my kids gets out of my G and walks between my two cars in my garage i remind them not to bump their big heads on the mirror cause i have them locked down fully.

while craftsquare recommends partial-lock for all street cars the mirror needs adjustment every 300-400miles which is kind of a hassle if you asked me.

those are some of the things to watch out for. it doesn't bother me cause my Z is my weekend car and the benefits outweight the concerns by 1000% so it was all worth it to me.

plus the guy at craftsquare was real nice and kept me updated on progress while building my mirrors. these mirrors are handcrafted. the craftsmanship is amazing, btw.
