That looks awesome. I hope they make that mirror for the 370Z.

Rans · 07-01-2009, 11:29 AM

The mirror is a one-off custom that the guy had done in a shop.

I really need to hardwire my V1. Is it pretty easy to do? I am inept when it comes to anything electrical.

Valentine makes a kit that is easy to use, but if you are really inept as you say, are you sure you want to?

That Lexus mirror is bad a$$!

I would say a radar detector hardwire is the most I can do. Other than that I'm screwed.

^^ A guy on the 350 fourm was making those. Proabably the same guy. He would etch the arrows and bands in the mirror. Pretty sweet.

If you are worried about cops, you can get the K40, I loved mine. It uses Bluthooth technology for all the sensors and you can put the display custom mounted where ever you want. That way it is less noticable when a cop pulls you over and also won't be a target at night lite up in the window.

radar jammers are illegal everywhere. however laser jammers are legal in certain states. i know for a fact that laser jammers are legal in NY.

also will that bracket for the escort work with a Z32 mirror?

Wow they did an amazing job on the mirror then they left a big hunk of wire flopping around instead of at least tying it to the mirror if not routing it through the mount itself...

He mentioned in his post that he had not finished the install and still had the wires to do, he was just showing off the facia.

Zero,

You might as well go one step further and hot wire it into your mirror. Not very difficult.
