I used to always remove the mirror on my BSP 240Z, which snaps on/off, and
stuff it behind the passenger seat just for greater visability.  Also
"updated" to later model 280Z windshield wipers for the same reason.  The
later model ones attach the arm on the side of the blade assy instead of the
top and therefore don't intrude into the viewing area as much.
