I have been working with a seller on ebay who carries Gentex/Donnelly mirrors. These mirrors are the ones found on tons of upper end cars. The seller has nearly perfect feedback with over 1000 transactions....

WHAT?

here is a picture of the Gentex auto dim/temp./compass/LED maplights

The only problem we have found is that hyundai uses a oddball mount for their mirrors. He has agreed to include a mounting button and glue kit for free. You can glue this mount to the side, above, or below the stock mount. Maybe even on top of. Im personally going to try to take off the stock mount and glue the new one in place of it. You might even be able to rip off the mounting clip on the stock mirror and attach it to the new one somehow. Either way, I wouldnt worry about the mounting problems. they are not hard to get around, and im sure someone will figure out something that works good, us hyundai guys always do. :wink:

He also has "Homelink" Gentex mirrors. With the homelink feature, you can open up your garage doors. He can not publicly advertise the price, but if you are interested, write him an email and he can give you a price individually. It is the same email address as the paypal addy. Be sure to tell him you are involved in the "RdTib" group. I know this is EXD, but just put that. ;)

PAYMENT PLAN

For payment, you will be paying in full on this one. This way there are no sitting on deposits, and it is much easier to keep track of things. This is not based on people involved. You pay, he ships within a day or two. More like a club discount than a group buy. :wink:

His paypal address his mirrors@qtm.net

If you are paying by money order, mail it to:

R T & Associates
7653 W. Forest Lawn Rd.
Three Oaks, MI 49128-9558

Be sure that with whatever payment you send, you write somewhere that you are in the RdTib group. Also be sure to write that you need the free mounting kit.

When you send in payment, forward a copy of the reciept to chrisweir01@yahoo.com. Include your forum name and the forum you belong to(because i will be spreading this to many forums later). If you pay by money order, just write me an email telling me, and I will make sure that as soon as he recieves you are added to the list.

its also going on at RdTib...

I'm down as soon as a DIY is made for the install and I can see how much of a pain in the nuts it will be to wire it up.
