Car looks fantastic. Very nice.

If you have someone remove the factory piece from windshield make sure they know what there doing. I had someone who didn't on my red lex and ended up having to get a new one. The Gentex mirrors are really nice and easy to install.

That is spectacularly clean. Kinda what my '97+ bodied 3L2 '95 could look like if I didn't live on a dirt road.

Wow, that mirror is really getting me.
Never even realized that it's possible to replace a rear-view mirror. Does the mirror just have a power, switched power and ground wire, or are there more wires in the kit for the mirror? Do you miss the "dimming button" of the stock mirror? How does the auto-dimming feature work, is it noticeable when it shifts or gradual? Whats the range on the homelink for garages?

Don't get me wrong, the rest of your car is p sweet, I just think I want one of these in my car.

Gentex provides many of the OEM rear view mirrors found on today's vehicles...they make an amazing product and can't even compare to the OEM mirror that came in the SC. All of the features work great, it dims gradually, or you can turn off the dimming feature, has compass, and works great with my gate and garage door at my home.

Wiring harness kits depend on which Gentex mirror you buy....look up at eBay for them or YouTube Gentex Homelink Mirror.

Stunning. Great inspiration to depict what is possible with our cars.

Hope to see it one day if the NorCal and SoCal CL members come together one day.....
