I can tell you exactly what you need, but I can't tell you how or where to get it. In this thread A Replacement Convex Mirror that Really Works I show how to convert a 90mm convex bullet style mirror in to the very high end Talbot mirror, with all the German optical components, for a fraction of the price. The mirror glass for that is very unique, aside from the fact that it is convex, it allows light to pass through it (meaning headlights) while still acting as a wonderful mirror. The glass is like magic. At the end of the thread I have the instruction pamphlet as well. Anyway, that's the type of mirror glass you want (not convex though for a dash rear view mirror). I don't know where you would get it, and I don't know the proper term for that type of mirror. But that's what you want. Here's a pic showing you the "see-through" aspect of the mirror glass.
