Default Integra blindspot?

Hello Honda-tech, i have a 1997 LS sedan, today i drove my friends 94 GSR coupe and i notice that when i was making a lane change, the rear side wondows are too much of a "blindspot" for me, does anyone else feel this way, like it kinda gives me a headache when i drive a car with bad blind spots. what do you guys think?

It used to be a problem for me when I first got the car. I've gotten used to it now though.

nope, youre not the only one.. It took me awhile to get used to it. Try driving just about anything thats a convertible with the top up- the blind spot is insane. The newer mercury cougars and toyota celicas are a pain as well, they make the teg coupe feel like a green house.

move the mirror so you see almost none of your car.

i really havent noticed it being that bad. i guess i am just used to it.

if you have your mirrors like these other guys have said it should help out. it will just take a little bit to get used to the mirrors being like that...i tried moving them this way but couldnt stand it cause i use them all the time for backing up and cant see the car so it sucked for me. i just check the blind spots like normal and i really havent a problem with it. although i do see where you are coming from, just takes some getting used to.

noticed the same thing when i got my car. now i'm used to it. I've noticed i excellerate when changing lanes, it helps pull anything in the blindspot into view before i move over.
