I can see the forward corners much better than I could with the Eclipse. There is nothing like the STi’s scoop on the Evo to block the view (assuming the STi’s scoop does block the view). I don’t really notice much of the hood while driving except the contours around the hood vent and they only stick up ¾” or so. The car is very intuitive as far as knowing where the corners are.

CoooOOoL ... it would be nice to see the hood some so you can have a better view of what you're turning into and driving in front of... But hey you take what you can get...
I heard the 350zx has a horrible view from the sides even... like the side mirrors dont help at all..
Now I gotta bust that S-M-O-G stuff *Signal Mirror Over the shoulder GO * ~ yah new driver here lol ... license test next month >_<~ and I wouldnt feel comfortable in ANY car that has such horrible viewing.... especially if you're required to completely turn your head over to change lanes... right? I mean the mirrors should help and I hear on some cars thats just not possible

i still haven't really gotten used to the wing - i think it blocks traffic alot. which isn't too bad, unless you're as afraid of being followed by the police as i am i can tell when there are cars behind me, i just think they're cop cars a lot because the wing makes it hard to see details like lights and radar guns.

Cause I knoe the Rx8 and new Celica sure do
The car has an Is300 kinna setup so I would think because it IS a sedan the blind spots would be typical ONLY on the sides when you actually have to look over your shoulder and stuff ...

i have severalt hings to complain about, one is that the a-pillar is too thick, but you can't help that. it chops your turning visibility in the canyons basically in half... what exacerbates this already hindered visability is the size of the rear view, i would say spending 600 bucks to get the slim ralliart mirrorsis justifyiable, only to me, but then again, this is only if you drive canyons a lot.

I special ordered it at Strouds' Auto Parts but you can buy them online (even Advance Auto's website has them) if you don't mind doing that. It is called a Wink multi-panel mirror. I even saw a 3 panel with a billit body at a 4-wheel drive shop.
