Small detail: the side mirrors on your NSX look great.

BRZ ones are almost comically large--tends to bother me, haha.

As nice as they are, they are a bitch to see anything on the side due to the size

Yeah, I know the backend on the 86 is beautiful, but drivers need to stop examining it in the mirror and angle em out wide!

I forget what the figure is but an overwhelming percentage of drivers have their outside mirrors angled incorrectly. I make sure I can BARELY see any of my quarter (as beautiful as it is) in the outside mirrors.
