Default Blue wide angle mirrors for the Z??

I have trouble seeing blind spots inside the Z since i m like 5'7. Members suggested me to get the small circle convex mirrors or the jdm left mirror. I was in another forum and found this company.
www.levelsports.com
They make some blue wide angle mirrors for the 350Z. What do you guys think.. I might get a set and if do I will post pix.

very interesting. i am interested in this. i am not sure about it at $80 but.... maybe if i have some extra money after x-mas.

ANY improvement over Z's blindspot correction will be welcomed. not to mention the glare reduction.

i was looking for mirrors like this when i had a 99 prelude. looks like they have it for preludes too lol.

Those look pretty nice. Just a bit pricey tho. I'd get them if they were like $40.

I emailed the company and apparently they are overlays that attach w/ double sided tape. No way i'm paying $80 for stick on mirrors.

I put 35% tint on my mirrors and they're fine. Cost me a grand total of about 15 bucks. As for the blind spots, I'm only 5'9" and I have no trouble. If you rotate them out so that you just BARELY can't see any of your car in them you should be fine. I can see cars in my sideviews and out my side windows at the same time usually, so there's no blind spot

Hey I got the set. They are pretty cool. I went out for a 30 min drive....it took me like 10 mins to adjust to the mirrors cuz of the convex shape, but they do help with the blind spots.
here are some pictrues:





BEFORE


AFTER


I'll let you guys know how the blue tint works at night with the glare.
