I made a shameless copy of Mike's mount for my Z out of a piece of wood, and some spare parts for mounting a toilet. I spray painted it black. My friend bought a G and I told him to buy Mike's mount though.

Hardwired to the mirror power and no sloppy wires hanging around.

Looks good! Thanks Mike.
Ty,
Your welcome. Glad you like the mount!! Word has got out about my mount at other car forums and I am selling mounts for all kinds of cars and trucks.

The next time I get motivated I'll buy one of Mike's for my Z and put the mount I made in my Outback.

Default Owner of Z mount

Wow Powered by Z, you are way off base here.

First of all I am the owner of the zee mount. This mount is made specifically for the 350z and has branched out to other cars due to its popularity.

I DO return phone calls. If you had left a message on the answering machine, your call would have been returned. I received NO calls about a size problem. You obviously didnt. OR if you called in Dec, we were on vacation for 10 days and couldnt get back to you in a timely fashion. Also ALL emails are answered. There is NOT one bit of truth in what you are saying. SHAME on you. When we got home every call that was on my machine got answered. I had lots of hang ups but that does not constitue not anwering back, if no message was left.

Why your 2006 didnt fit is beyond me unless you have a 2003-2005 mirror on your Z by mistake. Or you have an early 2006 that still was using the older mirrors. We have not had ONE problem with fitting the correct mount to the correct year. Or perhaps you do not have the homelink mirror. I dont know what your problem was. YOU should have called and asked to replace it with a 3/4 mount instead of the 23mm. Your accusations about customer service are totally unfounded. I never received a call or email about a size problem from you.

Our mount is custom crafted aluminum. Yes it cost more because Delrin does not have the tensil strength nor the ultimate shear strength of aluminum. It is a good plastic. And sorry Mike, no offense, but aluminium does cost more. Ours is made on a CNC machining center, it is black onidized and the 3 dimensional Z is buffed back out for a shine. The whole thing is cut out of a billet of aluminum. It will last forever. As said on the site, it is not for everyone. As with any product there are price points for everyones pocket book.

My FAQs are not digs but meant to be funny Scarab440.

I have tried too many times to get you boys to measure your stems, because not all mirrors are the same. AND SIZE DOES MATTER. After the billionist time, it gets to be old hat. So if you didnt measure your mirror stem, what can I say? I cant guess what it is. My testimonials far out weigh what you are harping about. Perhaps my sense of humor just doesnt mesh with yours.

Some people like Mikes, some like ours. Its a choice, but to sit here and bash either one of us, is totally uncalled for.

Wow zeechicks rant seemed a bit excessive. Anyway, I have Mike's mount and it's awesome. Detector is steady as a rock and it sits perfectly about an inch below the review mirror.

I bought mine from Country Joy as well.
This thing came to my house within 2 days ( I live in AZ its pretty close).
I had it installed on my expedition in less than 2 mins.
I havent seen mike's yet, just a few pics, but I am sure his is pretty good as well.
I am ordering one for my V1 now, I am selling both my Escort 9500is (and the mount as well)
