Question Vision Carbon Fiber Mirrors

Does anyone have these vision cf mirrors yet? I want to know if it helps decrease the blind spots at all.

IIRC, those mirrors were very small compared to the stock mirrors. They probably wouldn't help much with the blind spots.

yea, but i used to own an integra, and Vision also made smaller mirrors for integras which suprisingly eliminated the blind spot. so i'm wondering if these will do the same.

APR GT3 mirrors are nice ... probably need a little modification before instead of just a bolt on kit ... here's a pic ...

You can adjust the OEM mirrors to reduce the "blind spot", unless you just want new mirrors.

Or these are said to be aimed specifically at the blind spots:

I have them, I wasn't to happy with them at first, simply because of the overall shape and size. But they have grown on me and i can say that i don't mind them now. IMO they don't seem to eliminate the blind spot, but at the same time I don't think that they are any worse than the stock view.

I was thinking the same thing after i put them on, I even thought about flipping them over but i think they would still look awkward.

Wierd thing is that now that i have these on my car, when i see the stock mirrors on Z's they seem to stick out like a sore thumb. The one thing I do like about these mirrors is that they are dark and blend well with the windows.
