Better Rear View Mirror
Does the XLE have a better rear view mirror than the SE?
I have a '99 SE and the mirror just looks CHEAP. I would like to get one with thermo,compas, lights, etc. if Nissan makes one that will swap.
Apologies if this is a common topic, I couldn't find any references.

screw the rear view mirrors and get ureself a broadway rear-view mirror add on... it just clips right on top of the old one. YOu'LL LOVE IT. I know you won't have a compas and all those gizmos, but trust me, it's your best alternative aside from spending 300 bucsk for the one u want. Very very practical too.

Another supporter for wider rearview mirrors. Once you start, you can't stop. When I got my first one, I kept moving it back and forth between cars for 2 weeks until the second one came.
It's like a drug

(sorry guys)to get a better mirror you could get one off a wrecked infiniti i30. it's auto-dimming, but no compass. it definetly looks a lot better though.

Flat or convex
If you get the flat broadway mirrors the image will appear the same size. If you get the convex broadways...you will be able to see more but smaller image. I don't recommend the convex. The objects may be too small
