Once you have driven a car for a few years, you will learn where your tires are.

If you have a problem with the mirrors in the 350Z, don't even think about driving a 370Z. It's amazing what can hide behind them, and curbs are the least of your worries.

You'll get use to it. Took me about 3 months to learn how close my wheels were to the curb lol if you cant get use to it,I'd suggest don't park near curbs and stay away from round abouts

i never had a problem with them before. maybe its just in my head because its bothered me for the past month. maybe im just alittle paranoid because i've rubbed my rims twice eating ****.

Yeah visibility of the ground out of the car is pretty terrible. Can't really see well in any direction. I always find myself sticking out of a space or parked on the line. Sometimes worse! Rearview mirror is pretty useless with the spoiler in the back lol.

Because race car. Over a year and you still haven't got used to it yet? Get some Datsun 240Z JDM mirrors and throw em on the fenders. It may look ugly as fudge but it'll fix your problem.

Honestly, it just sounds like you need to reevaluate your driving skills..I've owned mine for about 6 months and never had a problem with parking parallel or in a parking spot and never had a problem turning...not trying to sound like an ******* but yeah..

When I pulled out my sparco's to put the stock seats back in before selling my car I had huge blind spots for changing lanes on the hwy.. Just got used to looking through the holes in the headrest out the window.

Try driving in fixed back race seats and a 5 point harness. Then in the pits at the track it is downright scary with a helmet and Hans on.
