Finally got My Rearview mirror back!! CHECK IT OUT!!!

Hey everyone I had a buddy of mine who is an electrical guru work on my g35 mirror. Here is what came out of it!! Excellent guy and great work!! He has a thread on my350z.com with doing V1 mirror conversions allowing you to choose your color of what is displayed...here is what I got so far! I will have night pics of as soon as my car comes out of the shot!

Everything is fully functional as OEM. Auto Dimming still works as well as the garage doors etc.

link on my350z.com

Wow! I think that is the best idea yet! How much did this run you? I should probably view the link you posted first though, huh.

I checked out that link...VERY cool work! What do you mean he is doing a full LED interior conversion? The A/C, radio controls? I would DEFINATELY buy them right now! Where did you mount your V1? In the back of the rear window like he posted?

yeah everything that has a light in the car...he can change out..radio etc...you have to send him all the parts though.

The V1 at the moment is not mounted because my car is still in teh shop...the issue we have with our g35's is that our headliner is molded to the roof and held on by the side panels..we dont have any pop screws in ours...so i am still trying to figure out where to mount it..I am thinking I may try the visor mount that V1 had and mount it to the back of the headliner that way...guess we will see.

his prices are very reasonable as well. Once I get the product installed I will take pics of it at night and installled and where I put the V1 at....I am considering on taking a video as well If I can figure out where to place the camera in order to see it.

This is a great little setup. Saw this when it came out and fell in love with it. Can't wait to see yours installed.
