Wow, I would love one of these! Is it still available? Does it bolt right in? (I haven't taken the mirror off and have no idea how it works)

anyone selling a Valentine One? I need the radar before I can get this cool mirror!

Yes Stan, the original glass had leaked so I replaced it with two-way glass.
|
Can this be done to a 997.2 auto dimming mirror?

Hi I'm looking to upgrade to an aftermarket auto dim mirror for my 06 cayman s (has the regular mirror currently). Would you be able to wire an aftermarket one w/ a two way mirror V1 (stealth look)?
Please let me know, or PM me. Thanks! |

If you are going auto-dim you'll probably end up buying the expensive Porsche mirror, the issue is the mount, the piece on your windshield is proprietary and I have not found any adaptors. You can have it removed and a different mount glued in but there is some risk of the windshield getting cracked. The most common after market mirrors are the Gentex ones, you can have auto-dimming, a compass, home link, all the bells and whistles... but you need something to attach it to which is always the catch. |

Combining two-way glass and auto-dimming is very difficult, I've experimented a lot but have trashed a lot of glass so far, have another test I'm doing soon. So... can I etch an auto-dimming mirror - yes, can I make a two-way mirror - yes, both together? Not just yet.

Can you PM your cost to do this? A Porsche auto-dim mirror will run around $350 for the mirror alone, by comparison a non-autodimming one is around $75. An auto-dimming Gentex is around $150 depending on the model and features. I find most Porsche drivers like to stick with OEM but it's all personal choice, I'll PM you some thoughts. |
Personally I think auto-dimming is overrated but that's just my opinion :)
