got bored today and decided to go out to the local junkyard and find a donor rearview mirror, but then i took a look in my wallet and only saw $8. Then came the bright idea to remove the rearview mirror out of my 88' camry and see if it was possible to mount to where the visor holder is located. Took about 30 mins, but after a little file-ing and two longer screws i end up with the following:

i can see perfect under the targa bar, and see over the seats. As you can see from the picture taken take with the camera on my cell...you can see a corner of the passenger seat. The view is quite sufficient. Although i wouldnt mind the mirror being place a bit further forward to get a better view of the rear.

i dont think its polite to "call out" dr evil for a competing product. mike is a good guy. I was down at his place in SD yesterday morning.
and he does more than just mirrors (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

PS - he is at a MED SCHOOL interview in VA right now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

yea they're still attached all i had to do was drill a hole for the visor peg. However, Ive only got the passenger side visor installed, b/c the driver side one has a tendency to flop down when not in use.
