Blindspot Mirrors?

Yeah the blind spot looking back over your shoulder is pretty intense. On my Audi, not that i needed it, but they had a replacement mirror that was 50/50 regular and the end of it was spherical to catch a little bit of the blind spot. These are the ones.



Anyone know of something like this for our rides?

And the second part is once they are found who else is going to hop on a group buy so we don't all cause accidents or end up going to Pep Boys for the stick on ones?

I just lean a little forward to change the viewing angle to see the blind spot when changing lanes to the left and over the shoulder for the right

I use the stick on mirrors... I know they're not the most attractive things but they have served me well for the past few years. I never have to look back and they only cost $2.00.

These are great. But I only use it on the drivers side because it is natural to look over your shoulder when changing lanes to the right.

Ok besides wasting like 3 minutes moving your mirror around.
I did find this but I'm sure its expensive and not really worth it. But still kind of cool technology.

I keep hearing about Infiniti is suppose to have some sort of Blind spot monitoring system but i've never seen such an option.

If you type Euroblind spot mirrors in any search engine, they are avaiable to almost every german car, but none for us Japanesse Luxury owners, what, drivers in Japan have no trouble with blind spots?

I have no issues with blind spots. I think it has a lot to do with how you aim your mirrors and your seating position.

I aim my mirrors such that if I lean my head towards the glass as much as I am comfortable doing, I can just barely see my car in my driver-side mirror. Then I lean my head approximately the same amount towards the passenger side and set it to barely see my car as well. From my seating position (I am 5'9" tall and don't gangsta lean at all), I can see really well and can lean towards either side for a scan of what is closer to me at lower speeds.

Sorry I got a wicked gangsta lean (I'm white), 5% tint and I can't see an 18 wheeler coming up for the life of me.
