Nice install on the mirror. That auto dimming feature sure comes in handy at times.

On days when I get sent to those fire stations I can back right up to the door open it and unload my gear for the day.
Saves some time.
The mirror is also a auto dimmer.Sitting low to the ground this is a must.

Spoken like a true Floridian 
In Michigan we use the temp gauge to let us know if it is cold enough to make ice on the roads.
Before the invention of the in car temp gauge we used the growing antenna trick.
If your antenna gets thicker as you drive behind the car kicking up rain or mist in front of you you have better slow down.
I had my antenna get so big on the way home in freezing rain that it looked like a broom handle.
Here is a pic of a white knuckle ride home last winter.
I snapped a picture of my saturn vue then I got home.
Have a good one

Looks great. I was thinking about this mod as well, however I have been hoping some engineering genius comes out with one with a built in radar detector as well.
Anyway, is the new mirror about the same size as the OEM mirror or is it larger?

Awesome! gotta add this to the to do list. I already wanted to add an electrochromatic mirror, mine didn't have it. did your car already have that?
what do the LED map lights look like? are they as bright as stock? what is the color on those? did they use nice cool white LEDs or are they the yucky yellowish kind?
the homelink is the universal garage door opener right? I only saw one homelink button on there though...how does it work?

Very nice upgrade to your car. The autodimming mirror is very handy.
