Yeah it doesnt take long to get used to. Just dont buy f1 style mirrors i got some on at the moment and they make the problem twice as bad. Oh wells some one sell me a right hand side mirror so i can go back to my stock ones lol
Almost got into accident 2 days ago because the car in other lane was completely invisible for me. Luckily I don't do crazy fast lane switch so other car was able to honk the crap out of me.
But ya, after I moved the mirror(the right one) towards outside where my fender was no where to be seen, I felt more safe switching lanes.

There's a very simple solution without the need for the distorted view provided by those add-on. Here's how you should be adjusting your mirrors...

the blind spot is really easy to take care of, you just need to get an idea of what cars are around you. its not a hassle at all for me. and when i do get unsure i just turn my head to check, or speed up ;p
now one thing i DO hate is when im listening to music and the bass from the music vibrates my rearview mirror everytime the beat goes off ;[

i am always aware of the cars around me, blind spots shouldnt be the reason u crashed... jk 
my windows are extra tinted so its hard at night sometimes but i can actually see through the side windows. +1 on finding out the 370z mirrors are a pain

Extra dark window tints are a hazard, period. Vanity over safety is stupid.

This gives me an image of a stupid kid quickly changing lanes in and out of heavy traffic. Don't be that kid it is stupid and dangerous. When you change lanes, check your mirrors, turn your head, check mirrors and then change lanes smoothly. If you do this, you won't have problems and won't make every other motorist on the road hate you.
Good link. I drove for 20 years before I learned how to adjust side mirrors properly. It makes all the difference in the world.

I will be purchasing a 2007 Z soon and recently test drove one. I know you don't buy a car like this based on driver visibility, but I was nervous when changing lanes becasue of the small, back corner windows.
I have had several sport cars and tend to jumps lanes quickly - always after checking my blindspot.
If this something you get used to with the Z? Do you have to rely on your side mirrors for lane changing?
Has this caused anyone accidents or almost?
