    Has anyone here found any good options to add blind spot vision to your side view mirrors?

    I have obviously seen the circular stick on mirrors available at any car store, but I thought it would be really cool if there was a replacement mirror for the F430 that actually had a piece built into it or something, so it didn't look real cheap and tacky.

    I feel that having this added visibility would help GREATLY when weaving through traffic.

    If you adjust your mirrors correctly you should have no blind spot.

    I agree. I think the mirrors work great -- certainly as well as any other car I've driven.

    F430 has pretty decent visibility (although it pales to R8 which has incredible vision).

    The only problem I have is the Spider with the top up at night - the plastic wind-diffuser makes everything blurry in the rearview mirror.

    What I found in the 360 is that if you turn your head to look to your left, your vision is blocked by the roll bar. It seems about the same with the top up or down. I am interested in any suggestions people may have on the subject.

    I ride motorcycles and my wife says that I am hyper sensitive on this issue :).

    I agree with rcallahan and bdelp above -- when the mirrors are properly adjusted there is no blind spot and no need to turn your head. The back of any car is still visible in the side mirrors by the time the front shows up in your peripheral vision in either side window. The best visibility of any car I've driven.

    With the 360 coupe it's the same thing, it's a pain in the ass since you are looking through the engine and there is some plastic stuff covering the way. The right side more so then the left.
