Ford Mustang Features Gentex Mirror


ZEELAND, Mich., Oct. 24 // -- Gentex Corporation, the leading supplier of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors to the worldwide automotive industry, announced today that it has begun shipping an interior auto-dimming mirror with a built-in compass display for the 2007 Ford Mustang.

Gentex auto-dimming mirrors automatically darken to reduce glare from the headlamps of vehicles approaching from the rear. The brighter the glare, the darker the mirrors become, making nighttime driving safer.

Gentex's automatic-dimming mirror with compass is available as part of a Comfort Package on the Deluxe and Premium versions of the car, which is sold throughout North America.

"The Mustang has been a part of America's heritage for over 40 years, yet this is a new program for Gentex, so we're excited to be included on the 2007 version as the legend continues," said Gentex Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Enoch Jen.

Founded in 1974, Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ:GNTX) is an international company that provides high-quality products to the worldwide automotive industry and North American fire protection market. Based in Zeeland, Michigan, the Company develops, manufactures and markets interior and exterior automatic-dimming automotive rearview mirrors that utilize proprietary electrochromic technology to dim in proportion to the amount of headlight glare from trailing vehicle headlamps. Many of the mirrors are sold with advanced electronic features, and approximately 95 percent of the Company's revenues are derived from the sales of auto-dimming mirrors to nearly every major automaker in the world.
