I have a mirror from my 89.
Let me know if you still need it.

I've done the mirror mod with the temp and auto dimmer.
It took 4 tries to get the button to stick on the windshield.

I need to figure out a way to do it to the Z with that special windshield....

Don't replace it worth .000001 in the quarter if you take it out.

if I do this I am not planning on the tab on the windshield, I will try to get it to fit the OEM spot

Any updates to rear view mirror replacement options? I think that Gentex one is pretty cool and I'm in need of a good radar/laser detector too. Has anyone tried to mount one yet using the factory mounting bracket? My mirror has some of those blotches on it and I see some Corvette shop have started to remanufacture our mirrors with new glass too; maybe that is better than factory glass that seems to have a common problem of this blotching.

Nope not that I am aware of. I did finally get arround to installing the home link sunvisor although. Works great. SO many mods so little time.

Thank for your input Daryll. That home link sunvisor mod sounds cool too.

No problem Craig. Dont forget if you go to another brand solution you will lose the orange night glow that shines down over the console area which is one of the reasons why I said Meh. I like the set up in the Nissan I posted up but the hidden display in the mirror would not really be so hidden as low as we sit in our rides. Someone behind you could sse it through your rear window. I choose to mount the V1 hidden display on the left corner of the radio surround simple velcro works well and I routed all the wires behind the radio surround. I was runing a cheap HUD unit for a while that provided compass direction and speed and such but that unit crapped out in less and 6 months and I removed it.

Thanks for the tips and I wish I could find just the glass to replace on the mirror. My old cordless Escort is not good enough and I think it is time upgrade to the V1 that I heard so much about so I'll research how well it works in Japan too.

I had a good extra mirror glass.. not sure I still have it though

Craig,

I've got about half a dozen mirrors. Let me check my mini-storage tomorrow to see if any are up to your standards.

Jep
