Yes this is the idea..too bad I cant get something like this on my Z..Generally speaking when I adjust the mirrors as several posters have suggested the visibility is okay..but I just want it to be as good as possible..

Idk. I owned an eclipse before my 370 and I don't see what the problem is. I can see just fine with my mirrors. I guess the eclipse small mirrors and blindspots helped the transition to a worse viewing angle in mirrors etc on the z lol. I guess if you owned a large SUV or truck it would be harder to get used to. But that's natural anyways.

My factory Nissan aspheric - wide angle will be here this week. Install on 20 or 21 August. More to follow. Driver's side.

THAT DID IT!!
I went to Pep Boys and found a much better selection of mirrors than I had found elsewhere..I found a slightly convex one that is much better than what I had been using and got two for about y7 dollars.. They look great and add about 25% more on visibility on the passengers side!

Problem solved! Thanks so much!

..I am not sure of the exact number of degrees but now I can see the area right behind the passenger, hidden by that pillar and I am happy!
Just hope it does not fall off!!

I don't have my Z yet, but I've driven one in street traffic. The only, only thing I'm not looking forward to is the rear-angle visibility and blind spots. I've always liked having my mirrors in enough to just barely see the side of my car so that I have a reference. But already I've moved them to flare out more and start to get used to that placement. (I always turn my head to clear my blindspots anyway, no matter what, I just know that I can't actually do that in the Z. My driving style and awareness tend to not leave me surprised very often at all by unexpected cars.)

Sorry to bump an old thread, but it's a good one with good ideas. I still may try to locate an add-on to the side mirrors.

with craftsquare, there are no blind spots as it's a convex mirror.

it's good to be blind when you look at the price though. lol
well, not so rediculously expensive if you bought them in japan.

Even with the stock mirrors, as long as you set them up correctly, no blind spots whatsoever. :tup:

Wow, how did we drive before back-up cameras, mirror assists, and all the stupid s^^t on this thread? Easy, we learned how to do it without!

I really hope that the people out there buying mid-performance cars have a better driving skill than what's being posted here!

Flame ON!

The new Accord has a killer idea. The side view camera.

Because its really good...look for copy-cats. Just look at SRM on the Z. The innovator now becomes the copied.
