    My freind just got his 430SP. First night out on a lane change he almost hit a car due to a blind spot. Day 2 he went to PEP BOYS and purchased small mirrors that stick to his outside mirrors (something you would see on an rv). I told him he must take them off and just deal with the blind spots. Please post opinions (hopefully he will take them off).

    If you adjust the mirrors properly the blind spots will be eliminated. (unless you are referring to visibility backing up)

    If the car has the electric seats, they can be adjusted higher which should help with visibility. Just a suggestion.

    I have convex mirrors on all my cars including the F430. Would not do without them. Want to take mine off? We'll have to talk. :)

    I just bought a maxima that has one of those on the side mirror and i love it. It does eliminate your blind spot and makes lane changes safer and easier. Probably a good idea for a Ferrari and other exotics with big blind spots.

    Maybe one day he'll be confident enough to take them off.
