oh and i forgot a close up of the mirrors

Brian ( navycav3 ) was the first that i know of to have this particular thing done ( me being the second ) ... a local guy here in Colorado thought of doing this so the mirrors would flow better with the window trim

Personally, I'd just have them painted gloss black again. I think painting those body color screws up the flow of the windows. Think about why you left the ouside edge of the mirrors black. Do what you want, but it's a thought to consider.

ive always thought about doing what you did with the mirrors


the body shop that was next to the stereo shop i used to work at had trouble even painting the door pieces black


they are a cheap plastic with some kind of clear coat on them , and if i remember they are pretty cheap to buy new from the dealer

yes they have some wierd clear coat on them....we tried painting them black...and the paint reacted to the clear that was on there and started to crack all over the place...so i took them off and hes gonna sand em down and see if he cant get em to hold a good finish

I think the OEM lights would look nice on a Red Car.
I like the side mirror but i have always like the look of just the mirror painted make the mirror stand out more. One you add other thing will make the car look whole. That wing just stands out with out no body kit.
