Was wondering how much it would cost to rechrome my rearview mirror?

I'm visiting Nashville next Tuesday and was thinking of bringing my 67 Datsun's rearview mirror and getting it chromed. I live in Ontario Canada. Was wondering how much it would cost to do that in American dollars? Is it easy to remove the glass, or will it crack?

I would consider just buying a reproduction mirror from Dean. I got one a few years ago and they are nice.

datsunparts.com has full reproductions, $195 US + shipping. I bought one and it is superb. Or they have just the glass for $59 +shipping. Impossible to know how much it will cost to replate, each State has different regulations with unfortunately my State CA. being the worst that I'm aware of.

I have heard of a very reasonable and very good chrome shop in Mexico (fewer costly EPA regulations - shocker)... and I'm pretty sure even they would charge $195 or more to re-chrome. No glass.

I had my 67.5 rearview mirrors (glass) replaced (fender and dash) and each was $100 – just for the mirror part. Excellent job, but not inexpensive...

I think all of this points to Dean's being a really good option, in my opinion.

Just skip a cocktail or two in Nashville and you'll pay for the mirror! Have fun.
