Neither will fix the issue that the stock Z34 mirrors are large and awkwardly placed

A useful reply:

The Zoom mirror looks to just be glass you stick onto the existing lens. The NISMO mirror replaced the internal assembly IIRC.

I attempted to order some craft squares, but after more than half a year there was still no word on production. I know the owner had some health issues, so I'm sure that was not helping. I ended up getting cheap *** Evo R carbons lmao. I'll feel less bad if someone decides to bash them in a random parking lot.

Ahh let me re-clarify. There are two types of NISMO mirrors. The ones you posted are stick on. The ones i mentioned are extremely hard to find and likely no longer in production.

I've had my Zoom for years now and looks great. No blind spots and great confidence since then. Check my page here in this forum.

Thanks for the info., I may give them a try as it's becoming increasingly difficult to see anything in the 1.5" dia. stick-on blind spot mirrors as my eyesight continues to diminish.
