Home made mirror glass

Been scouring the interwebs just about every day for a RH mirror housing and both mirrors. I FINALLY scored a black housing off sleezebay for $35. Now I just need some mirrors. I've been reading on here where some of you's are cutting out your own and siliconing them in. I was wondering if you gotta adjust them before you silicone, or if they can only go in pretty much just 1 way. I'm not scared of doing this, but I was gonna see if you guys that have done it offer up a pic or two. Just kind of wondered how much silicone to goop on it, and if you could see it pokin' out around the mirror..

Thanks!

If you have a tile saw, or access to one, it can be used to cut the mirror...

You could probably salvage and cut down glass from another side/rear view mirror in order to get the slightly convex shape you need.

I bought a stock automotive mirror from Autozone and a glass-cutting tool from Home Depot. It was easier than I expected, view is a match for stock. The secret is taking very small bites (nibbles) to get the shape correct.
