This is a 10 out of 10. I love my Tesprit mirror.

I've posted before, but I'll do it again.

I had in mind getting my own mirror, so I just ordered the mount. Stupid mistake on my part, as I never found another mirror that worked better than the one that Tesprit supplies. I ended up just buying the same mirror at an auto parts store (after searching all over for it), and it is perfect. Small - but just the right size - double hinged so it can be moved up so I can look under it, very light weight, rock steady (other mirrors I tried tended to vibrate), etc.

Just do yourself a favor, and buy the mount and mirror at the same time. It works, you aren't going to improve on it, and it's much simpler that way. Then go and get some Multivex mirrors and you won't have any more visibility problems out the front/back/side of the Elise.

Highly recommended!!

Sorry to have to post this guys, but the postal service costs and my cost for the mirror kit parts has increased so I need to raise the prices for my mirror kits. The new prices for the mirror kits will be as follows:

Mirror Kit #1 - Kit for soft top only equipped Elise = $46.50

Mirror Kit #2 - Kit for Elise with both hard top and soft top as well as Exige = $51.50

These prices still include shipping via Priority Mail (2-3 day service) and I can still take payments via PayPal using 05elise*at*milwpc.com (replace *at* with @ for correct I.D.) or via check/MO. I have updated the beginning post to reflect the new pricing.

I am also stopping the sales of the adapters by themselves due to both the lack of interest and that the mirrors are no longer locally available from Autozone. I now have to mail order the mirrors which is the major part of the increased price for the kits. Remember, these kits are for the pre '07 cars only (you guys with the '07 and newer cars already have a smaller mirror) and I usually have 1-2 kits in stock at any given time. If I am out of stock, it takes 1 week for me to restock the kits.

Thanks again to all of you who have purchased these kits from me!

Still worth it!
This is a great kit, tesprit makes the whole transaction very easy, and you'll spend the first couple of weeks wondering why you didn't buy this earlier.

Thanks T' for throwing this kit together.

Still a bargain (even at a higher price). EVERY early Elise owner should have your mirror kit.

Really not a big loose. I'm one of the fools that just get the adapter because I had plans to get a different mirror. After searching all over the place, I ended up getting the very one that I would have gotten from you in the first place. It was the best replacement mirror, and just the right size. If I had to so it all over again, I'd just buy the whole kit in the first place.

Highly recommended.

Thanks so much, Tesprit, for making this kit. When I got my Elise it already had the micro mirror. Now with your mirror I can actually see directly behind the car.
It works very well in tandem with the convex side mirrors.

Thanks, Dan. Great mirror. the directions are easy (only needed one nickel to do mine!). no broken glass, no cuts and only drank half a beer! I think the OEM mirror is bigger than the one in my H2! lol, syd

In honor of LOG 28, I will be bringing a couple of my mirror kits with me to the LOG and will offer them for sale at the event at a discounted price of $30.00. I will also install, or assist in installing this kit on your car for free. The kits I am bringing along with me are soft top kits so if you need the extension piece, I will have to ship it to you once I return home and it will cost an extra $5.00. Please contact me prior to Thursday morning (when I am leaving for the event) if you have any questions and remember, you have to be at LOG 28 to receive this special pricing deal. Thanks again for all the support and I hope to see you there!
