Forum discount received - Signal Mirrors!
*SECOND UPDATE*
We received the discount! Read near the end of this thread for details on how to get your mirrors for roughly 26% off.
Thanks folks,
John
*UPDATE*
I got an email back from the sales person at Muth Mirror Systems today saying that they would be willing to give us a group discount if we could show them some interest. He suggested a poll, so that is what I'll use.
Basically, they would sell them for $199 for a heated Corvette signal mirror kit ($70 off) and even less for a non-heated kit. Other accessories would be discounted too, but I'm not sure what the percentage would be. He also answered a question regarding electro-chromic mirrors. Below is his original email to me. So - all we have to do is take a YES or NO poll and we should get a discount!

Dear John,
Thank you for your continued interest and kind words!
If the vehicle has the self-dimming mirrors, then you will lose that feature when you install Signal® mirrors. You also can find this on our website in the FAQ section here: http://www.muthco.com/techsupport/carandtruckfaqs.htm
If there is interest from the forums that you frequent, we would be willing to provide the members a discount. Generally, based on the size of the two forums you list we would expect enough participation to justify a price of say $199.00 for our heated kit (which is normally $269.00). If you feel there is genuine interest from the members (maybe poll results or a link to a thread) you could share, please let me know and I will provide you with the information for the purchase. Normally, we would leave the buy open for 30 days and all transactions would go through our online store. If forum members are interested in our additional upgrades (http://www.muthco.com/products/smupgrades.htm), we could provide a % off of these too. (This offer would stand alone and the participants would not be able to additionally benefit from any special we may be running on our website. Participants would pay for the shipping option they choose when checking out on the website.)
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me directly.
Sincerely,
Chris Wedge

Dear Muth Sales,
I recently purchased and installed a set of your C5 Corvette Signal Mirrors. Thanks for the original product - I think they look great! To bad there is still 5 inches of snow on the ground, otherwise I’d be out driving around testing out these mirrors.
I do have one question, maybe two. My dad would like to get signal mirrors for his 2003 C5 Corvette and I believe he has heated, self dimming mirrors (I believe the technical term is electro-chromic?). Do you sell an electro-chromic, heated signal mirror kit? I noticed that you have heated and non-heated kits available for the Corvette, but I wasn’t sure if there were more options.
Also, my other question, I’m a member of various Corvette forums on the internet (mainly corvetteforum.com and corvetteactioncenter.com). I’ve posted a comment and my pictures on each forum trying to find out what people think of them. So far it has been mostly positive. My question is would Muth be willing to offer a group or forum discount pricing off of your standard pricing? If so, how much would it be? I guess I have a personal interest in this since I will eventually buy another kit for my dad’s vette, but I figure I could try to help my Corvette friends in the process.
Thanks again,
John"
You may have seen side view mirrors with the red flashing LEDs on various GM trucks and cars recently, but now Muth Mirror Systems came out with an aftermarket kit for the C5 Corvette. I've been bugging them for years to make them since they have kits for about 100 other vehicles out there and I think they're pretty cool. They function when you put your left or right turn signals on.
They are easy to install and only the glass portion is replaced. It probably took about 1.5 hours altogether on my C5. I wired mine up so they turn on when I apply the brakes too, not just with the turn signals.
I paid $269 for my kit, but since I have to buy another set for my dad's C5 I wanted to see if I can get a forum or group discount from them. I know they have done them in the past and shaved $50 or more off the price for forum members of other vehicles. I could give them a call to try to arrange something. Check out their kit page in the mean time. I've also composed a page of pictures and made a video of my installation on my own personal website. What do you think? Anyone interested?
