and put 800 miles on it over the weekend for a grand total of 1100 miles. The car is sweet with it's quiet power and smooth ride but you know the one thing that I love more then anything else in or on the car. The Auto-dimming rear view mirror, if you don't have one, get one. It's so worth what ever the cost is, mainly because of those over-sized SUVs and trucks on the highways. I never have to touch the rear view mirror because I am being blinded by some SUV. The mirror tints within seconds and I never even know it.

If most have never experienced a auto-dimming rear view, it's like looking throught a dark tinted window, dulls the
lights from the cars that are behind you. When the car behind you leaves, the mirror turns clear again...too cool.

Can hardly wait to see the new ride!!
I think you may have to rename this one though. To me, MegaMax was a name that had such a history, it should be retired.

I know what you mean, auto dimming mirrors are wonderful, you kinda wonder how you ever got by without them..

If I stop calling the car MegaMax II, then what are my other choices? Do I just forget naming the car all together?

What do you want me to do Jim?

My windows are tinted enough that I don't need this option.

How is the mirror wired to the car, or is it? Is there a wire running from the mirror to the windshield, then accross and down into the dash someplace? I have 2k and am thinking of purchasing the auto-dimming mirror.

The taillight border matches the body color correct?(in the rear photo) or am i just blind. I freaking want that for my black car. I am not feeling the carbon fiber look, thats why i dont go for the SE taillights.
