Electrochromic rear view..

Does anyone know if I can change my standard rearview mirror with an elctrochromic rearview and if it's feasable enough to justify changing it. I hate the standard one. Does anyone know how much the EC mirror costs..

Yes,you can replace your mirror with teh electronic mirror,but they are rather costly.If my memory sreves me correctly,the run between$300-$500.Way too much when you can flip the tab and reduce the glare.For me,I would rather spend the money on something else(Mods).But thats your decision. :chevy :chevy :flag :chevy :chevy

that's cool, but for me I'll save the extra $40.00 and get the factory mirror. I don't want the compass. :cool:

I also checked with Lovecars.com, they looking good but they was not able to "drive" the left mirror if you want the same functionality there, then the GM Stock is the only option.
