Blind Spot ...

if blind spots keep you from buying a car then your priorities are wacky.

that being said the Z does have issues, but nothing a slight move of the head doesnt fix.

When I was learning to drive, quite a few (almost always) older people in my hometown had these on their car. My friends and I always got quite the giggle when we'd spot a car with curb feelers on both sides.

I'd love to know if the side mount exhaust is real, or if those are stick on parts as well.

Edit: Found more pics, definitely fake, ******* tool.

Nope. Craftsquare. They are tits.

My passenger side mirror is "out" all the way, and the driver's side is out pretty far, to minimize the blind spots.

It's not a sedan with tons of glass or anything but you can manage it.

There is only one way to properly set mirrors in any car........

For the driver side mirror, roll up the window and press your head against the glass. Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the edge of the car. For the passenger side mirror, place your head in the center of the car (directly behind the inside mirror mount) and adjust the outside mirror so that you can just see the edge of the car. This is necessary even with convex (curved) mirrors where the image is distorted a little. When you’re in your normal driving position, you won’t be able to see the sides of the car but will be able to see other vehicles in the adjacent lanes. - See more at: How To Adjust Your Side-View Mirrors

I just pull up next to a car on a side street. I put the car in the "blind spot" and then adjust the mirror. It's not that hard.

I'm going to go hunt for a set of blind spot mirrors.
Wondering if anyone has found any they like and look okay.

For those who don't know the term, something like this:

I have the one inch convex mirrors that I placed on the far bottom corner of both mirrors, have had them in all my rides therefore I'm used to them
