Rearview Mirror

Has anyone found an oversized mirror that will work on a 2004 G35 coupe to help eliminate the blinds spots?

They do make small convex mirrors which work great also.

Just put the little rounded ones on your side-view mirrors. I have heard that those really help on our cars.

Our cars do have bad blind spots, but I haven't had a huge issue with it... knock on wood.

I just want to be able to look at just the rear view for a entire picture left and right, side mirrors are too small, tried that already, will keep looking, the other picture posted, is not mounted in a G35 coupe, although if that mirror would work, it would be what I am looking for?

I don't think a bigger rear view mirror is going to help you. The problem isn't really the mirror.... our mirror is the same size, if not bigger than that of most cars. The problem is that the car is just hard to see of out the back windows due to view obstructions. When you turn your head and shoulders and physically look out the back window from the front seat your view is blocked by the rear pillars mostly and also by the tall bumps/headrests on the rear seat and the low angle between the roof and the rear deck. I think a big mirror would just give you a better view of the inside of your car and not really a good view of what's around you outside the car... which is good I suppose if you're perving on a hot female friend that happens to be sitting in the back seat or paranoid that some black-glove wearing mafia hitman with a strangle-chain might be hiding out back there waiting to choke you to death when you drive off.

Yeah, every car has its own unique blind spots. The G isn't even bad compared to some I've owned. My Honda insight was so gnar. I had to use all 3 mirrors and look back multiple times just to change lanes. That sucked.

No, I know with the right mirror, I will be able to see enough to be safe, just have to find one that will fit over the stock mirror
