Re: IML: Mirror-matic

[JosephStil@xxxxxxx]

I don't have mirror-matic, but is restoring or refurbishing the rear view mirror a difficult thing to do?  

I don't recall seeing anything on the site about actually refurbishing or re-mirroring (if that is a word) the mirrors, just stuff about where to mount exterior mirrors & such.

Just smoke & mirrors in Allen, Texas.
