I paid $450 for mine

Sort of wishing I had shelled out for the -R mounting option and blue lenses. And the Craftsquare decals you can only get when ordering new.

I have the blue lenses, they look disgustingly awesome. Might try and see if I can get a rear-view in blue. Has to be cheaper than tinting the rear window so I stop getting blinded by every ******* car on the road.

You don't have an auto-dimming mirror? I bought a generic mirror with Homelink for my garage door, and found the auto-dimming feature to be very useful at night. Think I paid $80 shipped for it.

FWIW, I know Zoom Engineering has a rear view mirror with blue tint. I'm just not a fan of the look of their mirrors.

The Homelink mirror is a quarter-inch taller than the basic b*itch mirror and given my height and how I sit that quarter-inch ends up blocking a good amount of vision.

Yup. But worth it for the features for me. And now that I have the CS mirrors, I have gained back more vision than I lost with the rearview mirror lol

Even with the stock mirror, I found that small cars could hide behind it, especially at 4 way stops. Haven't found the gentex mirror to be any worse.

OEM side view mirrors hid bikers and pedestrians more than anything. I'm getting a lot more points these days now that I see them all mwahahahahaha!

You can hide a small airport behind those side view mirrors...
