I don't think RB owners are interested in seeing, just being seen.

Disclaimer to avoid butthurt: I my opinion, that kit is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

Blind spots? Your side mirrors shouldn't be set up to look backwards where you would see the side of your own car, they should be aimed at the ACTUAL blind spot. The wide body fenders shouldn't be in the way. Not even close.

This.

Most people have their side mirrors set up so damn poorly though and can still see way too much of their own cars.

Ideally, the side mirrors (and rear view mirror) are set so that whatever you don't see in them (blind spot) would show up in your rear view. This means you likely shouldn't see any of your own car in them.

This car's visibility really isn't bad at all. I have no issues with blind spots.

Fix your mirrors.

Your mirrors are most likely adjusted wrong. Follow this guide.
