![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I feel stupid asking this. Please dont kill me
Im a Younger person (when i say young i mean YOUNG) and planning to get my z in a while. long while. Im so addicted to this car im already looking and researching The Car and aftermarket accessories. I can rarely observe a z "in person" because 1) it aint mine. 2) they're gonna call the cops on me 3) i cant touch there car. 4)i CAN control myself from not stealing the car.
so please can you provide me with some info on my following questions?
(The headlights)
-what is the layout of the headlights? ex. i know the top most light is the turn signal, amber strip is the parking light, and main center light is the .. main light. but i havent figured out what the two lightbulbs are on the most bottom area of the housing.
(You)
-Whats your area of vision driving the car? is it very limited because of the long front and low style? and rear vision like when reversing?. how about blindspots?
-How do you like your car? does it meets your needs?
-How do people react to it in public?
again, im just very curious, please dont kill me
U people are like rolemodels
asking doesnt hurt .. does it?

the bototm bulbs you speak of are the headlamps I suppose.
<<Whats your area of vision driving the car? is it very limited because of the long front and low style? and rear vision like when reversing?. how about blindspots?>>
Vision in my opinion is decent. Rear vision....almost none in my experience/opinion. Blindspots....horrible.
<<-How do you like your car?>>
Love it!
<<does it meets your needs? >>
Yes, in many ways. It's fun to drive. I have only had a it a week and it has already almost got me laid. How can you beat that?
<<-How do people react to it in public?>>
Some point, lots of heads turning. When parked, people walking by can't resist looking in the window at the interior.

the lower light bulb is the high beams. and then there is a small clear wedge bulb in the corner that is apart of the parking lights.

LOL, almost?? What went wrong?
I've made my car a deal, for every girl I pick up or nail because of the Z, I set apart $100 for mods. So far, I'm about $300 in, with a front lip coming in today for $150 + $90 shipping + $75 to paint. So yeah, the car's been good to me

Blindspots can be eliminated if you adjust you left mirror to most left position and right to almost-most-right (!) Than you can easily see what's going on in blindspots through the mirrors. Unfortunatelly most people are trained to adjust they side mirrors to double (triple?) function of central mirror, and try to check blind spots by turning head and checking it visually. I find it irrational and dangerous when people are tought to turn they head from the road every time they need to change directions...
Ever seen race drivers checking they blind spots by turning head?

Rear view is not great but one can accustom to respect whatever he has...

The car is great i have no complaints except that the combination of dark window tint and blind spots is a little tricky to get used to. As for the looks you won't stop getting them until you go to a Z meet and even then you might get some because it's different seeing your car when it's someone else's.

The difference between driving on the road and race track is that noone on the race track is going to shadow you by hanging in your blind spot. I don't think it's dangerous to turn your head and look into the blind spot becuase if you're a good driver you have plenty of time to do it, unless of course you're tailgaiting someone. Just my .02 cents.
