does it really help see better as far the blinde sides go? i used to have one in my Spec V and it worked great but im not sure if it would do the same in the Z becuase of the rear hatch, you can't really see out the side window's. so is it for looks for does it really work good?

That's what you're talking about and it would look super ghetto in a Z, and block your Homelink... but if you die because you can't see then you're better off being ghetto and alive

No you fool..
Just like how you have concave mirror on your passanger side, the JDM Z has concave mirrors on the USDM driver side. If you swap them, you have concave mirrors on both sides, which helps you see the blindspot on both sides.. (duh?)

I does not block the homelink, i can reach under the mirror.

eh. my friend has it on his MK2 supra. I dont like it cause it doesnt flow w/ the inside..
The side mirror is all you need. The only reason i use to the rear view is to check for the 5-0

i dont' like it only cause it doesn't auto dim like the standard mirror does. I can't live without the auto dimming at night with all those trucks/vans/suv's on the road.
