Blind Spot ...

Youngwolf34

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 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

What blindspot?

axmea?

I have Zoom Engineering mirrors. Works well. But if you rely on the heated mirror feature, you will no longer be able to use it. It is a convex mirror that fits over your stock mirrors.

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.

Really? Hmmm. I wonder if they are convex?

I'll have to take a look.

I have not had any issues with blind spots. Either I drive too fast to have any car in there long enough or I used the information provided to properly adjust my mirrors.

Blind spot? I don't know how that little mirror on my car is gonna help others see me coming up from behind.

With or without mirrors I'm always aware of my surroundings.............GL..

you zoom in on the tiny reflection while you rear end the car in front of you.

I have the zoom engineering mirrors, they help a lot and look good, they also have a slight blue tint to help at night

I used to need blind spot mirrors until I realized having a bad driving habit.

Long story short: I used to position my side mirrors in a way, that showed my car's body when looking in them. I eventually figured out this was sorta of silly: if something was that close to me, there'd be no way to avoid it. I now position my side mirrors, where they don't show the body of my car, but would if I just moved them a centimeter over.

Poof. No more blindspots.

I know that doesn't work for everyone, but I think I'm not the only person who positions their mirrors in a way that "shows too much of your own car" in them.

Nice! Did not know this existed.
Looking at their website it says this:
"Note: These mirrors were designed for RHD vehicles, which come convex on the driver side. LHD vehicles will require extra double sided tape on the passenger side to cover the gap in between (extra tape not included). Failure to use proper mounting may result in the mirror becoming disconnected, causing damage to the mirror."

Did either of you have any issues since this kit is for RHD?

Here's the link I think?

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.
