Much Better!! With Convex Mirror...
The best mod ever... the safety and convenience of the Rest of World, look no further. 
Too much pain to get this mirror but it was worth it.

Where and how did you get it? It'd be so much easier to have them on my car as well. I have a pair of glasses with some thick frames (my favorites) and lots of the times it's hard to see the cars on the side even if I turn my head around to check the blind spot....

Interesting idea, but when properly adjusted, the normal mirror should be adequate.
Set driver's mirror:
-lean your head well toward the driver's window (until nearly touching the glass)
-adjust mirror until you can just see the side of your car in the lower right corner of the mirror
-adjust vertically until horizon line splits mirror
Set passenger mirror:
-lean similar distance toward center of car as in above step
-adjust mirror until you can just see the side of the car in the lower left corner of the mirror
-horizon line splits the mirror
Set center mirror:
-frame rear window in center of mirror, view is straight back
Test (preferably in city traffic where cars are passing both sides, or while parked):
-without moving your head, observe vehicles as they pass
-they will be first seen in the center mirror, then as they pass will begin to be seen in the side mirror
-as they leave the view of the side mirror your peripheral vision should detect the car.
These settings take a bit of getting used to, so use caution until familliar but they practically eliminate blind spots and shoulder checking becomes more of a double-check than a necessity.

Surprisingly, the G35 mirrors need to be at the maximum outward setting on the driver's side to achieve the proper setting.
