You know what's interesting? I just test drove a 2014 370z because my 2012 magnetic black not being metallic irritates me to the point I'm thinking about trading it in and just buying a new metallic one, and I noticed I think the mirrors on the 2014 are MUCH bigger width wise then what I have on my 2012.

There's really no noticeable blind spot at all anymore. Buy a 2014 and don't worry about a thing man. The Z of today (2014) has better mirrors and windows then my daily driver....prius.

you sure they are "much bigger" and not just using a more convex lens?
anyone have a side by side comparison?

i cant image why they would make it even bigger when the mirror was already obstructing view for left-hand turns.

I think they are bigger width wise but I could be wrong, I was just test driving so I didn't get out with a tape measure to find out. But I don't think I'm mistaken.

Somebody forgot to tell my 2014.

I can't comment on the comparison with earlier models, but my 2014 definitely has blind spots--at least for me.
