... make a map/reading light kit? I think it's really messed up that you can't even control the 2 dome lights seperately.

Just on or off? WTF.

Sunroof versions have map lights up front, that's the price you pay to get the 888 cars......sorry, I had to.

I don't have one yet, but both I've looked at were the same. I guess that's reason enough for me to wait a little and get one with the 'roof.

I'm still waiting for mine also.

Hmmm, non-electric dimming mirror.

Seriously, how much more would it cost to intigrate an electric dimming mirror? Hell, the base models start at 100 bucks. Besides, I'd much rather have a dimming mirror than a freakin compass. Really, when has anyone ever actually needed to use a compass while riding in a car? It's not like you're hiking through the woods and you've gotten lost. Look for freakin road signs for crying out loud!

You could always go with a GPS mirror:
