don't know about you, but I am not getting used to the little baby-mirror-inside-a-mirror thing...it's more distraction than benefit for me. I assume that glass pops right out as is does on most mirrors I've worked on...anyone done it?

(acknowledging right up front that this is not the most 'meaty' of threads ;-)

 

Your best bet would be to swap the entire mirrors with a 2010 pony. There's probably lots of 2010 owners wanting the revised mirrors on the 2011's. I personally don't know if just the mirror portions can be replaced.

 

I noticed that the Silver Laguna Seca at Miller Motorsports had the "plain" mirrors.

 

I thought the Boss LS had the "plain" mirrors standard and the regular Boss had the blind spot mirrors

 

You are correct!

 

Sweet, I'll mark that down on my calendar!! With (3) daughters and a fiancee I am rarely correct it seems

 

Mirrors are dirt cheap. You should be able to get them for under $100 each.

 

Can't you just replace the mirror insert and not the entire housing, etc by ordering the "plain" LS mirror inserts?

 

Yes.

Description, Year MSRP Price
3: Mirror glass Left, 2010 $23.85
Mirror glass Right, 2010 $28.33

 

Thanks Cinque35.......

 

that's what I was looking for. they must charge you the extra $5-ish for the 'objects in the mirror....' warning ;-)

I always liked the ones that said 'objects in the mirror are slower than you'...or something to that effect.

OR, that classic Gumball Rally quote when the guy rips the rearview mirror out of the car and says something to the effect of: "the first rule of Italian driving: what's behind me is-a-not important!"

On a similar topic (but not worthy of a new thread), is it my imagination or do objects in the rearview mirror (the one in the car) look kinda "squished" (i.e. taller and not as wide)?

 

i don't know if the LS uses a new 2011-12 compatible "plain mirror" housing or not. I do know that a lot of the guys with 10's wanted those blind spot side mirrors and the glass is not the same on the back for mounting as it is on the 11-12 cars. the blind spot mirrors in the housings on the 10 didn't fit. that said since the 10's are gone perhaps all mirror housings are the same on the inside on the boss cars and you can just replace glass. however, i sort of think that rather than retool the LS cars may just be using 10 mirror housings in which case the glass will not just transfer over.

 

I was informed of the same thing when I asked. the 2010 mirror lens does not just snap into place on a 2011+.

I guess there must be some holder on the back of the glass that has a different configuration from 2010 to 2011+

Anyone else want to chime in that has done this for sure...
