Map light mirrors are great in ragtops, too. We have a mirror from a '90s Buick Regal with the 2 lights in it, and working day / night position - $8.00 at the local boneyard. Try to find one that has the wiring harness, clip the wire before the plug and you'll have a clean disconnect in the car. We also have a '95 Caddy mirror with the thermometer / compass / auto-dim, but I have not tried it yet to see if I need a module or something to make it work.

I'm thinking of using the vintage TransAm style mirror in '67 Firebird (Project: Tomahawk). . .that way it re-inforces the influence that the vintage SCCA TransAm race cars have on my vision. . .it's unique. . .and I'm hoping that I will be able to mount it in such a way as to hide the roll bar across the top of the windshield. . .thinking about customizing it to include some map lights as well. . .now I just have to find them to see if I can make it work the way I want it to!!!

This is what I'm running... really nice piece.



It's a CIPA. I bought many years ago. Seems like they've gone up in price quite a bit though...

Yikes.. I think I only paid just over $100 for mine way back when...
