Rear View Mirror

[EddDeeEye]

I was wondering what people were putting in their resto-mods... looking for something beyond the stock 69 Camaro mirror, maybe with map lights, compass, etc...

Search ebay for "Gentex mirror." There are many different makes and models.

Contact Pascual at Marquez Design. They just came out with a 100% CNC machined billet mirror that has touch sensative led map lights. I saw them at SEMA and they are beautiful.

I saw the SEMA pics of the Marquez billet mirror and it is insane!! I want it too.

I too saw the Marquez mirror at SEMA. It looks like a very nice piece. I wonder what they will sell for. I'm currently using a 4th gen camaro mirror. It has two map lights that are nice. It is a 3 wire hook up power, ground, and dimmer. You only need to hook up power and ground you don't want to tie into the headlight switch for the dimmer.

^ the Marquez mirror sells for $300 IIRC Jason...

The coolest thing about the Marquez mirror is that is the led map lights run of a small battery hidden inside the mirror body. No wires to try and hide in your headliner.

The On-Star FMV rear view mirror looks like it might be interesting.

I copied Stielow's Red Devil $18 on eBay. Only thing I don't like about the mirror is the window mount plate isn't black so it stands out as non-OEM.

The Rear View Mirror will be available for purchase within the next 4-5 weeks. They feature 6 high intensity LED's which are powered via a self contained power source (no wiring necessary). The replaceable AAA batteries last around 5 1/2 - 6 hrs of total run time if left in the "on" position. The mirror contains touch sensitive technology which eliminates any external moving parts. The Mirror is manufactured using only the highest quality materials. 6061 Aircraft grade aluminum and 304 Stainless Steel are used throughout to ensure both the quality and integrity of the mirror.

There will be several other versions of the mirror available that weren't featured at SEMA. This will also include 3 standard finishes - polished, brushed and powder coat.

Does it mount to the windshield or the roof through the headliner?

Looks sweet! Another great idea for a new product for us. :thumbsup:

Both mounting options will be available.

I like the homelink features of these mirrors. No gate and door openers on the visor!

Thanks for all the input... that Marquez piece looks sweet! Due to some timing constraints, I have to order something now. While googling Gentex, I was led to Amazon and they also had some mirrors by Cipa. What I liked about them is they had the temp and compass readouts as part of the trim rather than showing through the mirror. Long story short, I'm going to order a Cipa 36500.
