I'm not following you .... what about the round wood  statement ? the original  mirror glass does not have   a hole drilled thru it . it just does not have the silvering  the shape of the hole. 

but a Good idea overall. Thanks !

I have glued a piece of felt on the wood for nicer shape.

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		Those prismatic mirror glasses are virtually the same size in many 1960s through 1980s cars. A friend of mine did exactly what Wizard said on his own Mirror-Matic and it came out perfect.
