Default DIY Gentex.... under 10 bucks!!!!

The mirror was 3.99 at a u-pull-it place and the quick taps were 2.50 at advanced auto parts, sweet!!!! It came out of an early 2000 era Cadillac something or other.

OOhh I see...When I first looked at the one pic it looked like it was mounted off to the side closer to the passenger sun visor meaning that he could've had two mirrors...but now that I look again I see it is in the stock rearview mirror's place. I see.

The auto dim mirror and the leather are the things I missed the most from my old car... now I am halfway there!

Weird, it looks Line-Xed! Great price for sure

I'd try to see if you can buy the OEM finishing piece that hides the wire - it would really clean things up. Unless you don't care, then you're set!

I put a little black plastic trim piece over teh wires but would love to have the oem piece. I wonder if I can buy just the trim piece?

The sheer torture of dimming ones mirror manually must be horrific

could be that almost anything nowadays comes with one and it should come with a truck this expensive...or it could be that the stock mirror is just plain ugly and stripped down looking like it came out of a 80's cheyenne trim level chevy truck...or it could be just cause he wanted to.
