Also it's hooked to the back-up light switch, so when you put the truck in reverse, if it's dark outside and the mirror is dimmed, it will un-dim. I wish it had the temp in it too, but I got it for cheap so I can't complain .
My G8 GT has a compass mirror - but it does not Autodim. I'm tempted to rip out the Mirror in the Vette and switch it... it would be plug and play... lol.

Thats awesome that you got all of the features to work on it!

Nope...........

I bought a different one.

Now if I could only remember what type of car it was I saw a red Gentex or Donnelly compass mirror in I would be able to cross that off my list.

Done with the exception of the 8-364 emblems, they still need a little work.

Just read through your build, awesome job! I'm getting ready to start something similar, you made up my mind on the paint though. I was thinking about going to a solid blue, but yours looks so great I am going to have to stick to what she was originally. Thanks for the new wallpaper on my computer too!

This is as good as the 364 emblem is going to get for now, although I may re do them later.

Thanks to everyone who followed my build, and for all your comments. But I guess I'm done with this one, time will tell what the next one is.

And in the words of Porky Pig......... "Th-th-th-th-th-that's all folks!!!"
