Default Left and right side mirrors...

Hi,
Is it just my 350z or the passenger-side side mirror's length is different than the driver-side side mirror? My passenger side mirror is definitely shorter than the driver side!! It's not really short, but it's tilted back more than the driver side. This is bugging me!

Could someone stand in front of the 350z and look at both side mirrors and tell me?

Thanks!

Yeah mine too.

I think it's only on later models to fix the "blind spot" issue.

Mines a 2005.

Does look kind of weird looking at it from the front. And once you notice it, you can't help but see it all the time.

On my 05 the mirrors are the same size, but each mirror "assembly" is
at a slightly different angle to its door, due to driver postion.

I also ordered the left-side mirror from Australia, as it is convex...

Yes, the 05's have bigger side mirrors, but both mine are the same size. You must have one 05 side mirror =).

Thanks for all the replies!
Yeah, actual mirrors and the casings are the same shape and size, BUT they are set at different angles!! Passenger side side mirror casing is tilted back more, therefore when you look from the front, the passenger side side mirror looks smaller than the other side...

Wow...I can't believe I've never noticed this before. I just went outside and looked at our Zs, an '03 and an '05, and both cars are set up exactly the same. Weird. Now I'm sure I'll notice it every time I walk out to my car!

Hi,

You mean the passenger side mirror casing is tilted back more, correct?

Yes, on both of our cars. My husband laughed at me...he said that he's always noticed it.
