Did a couple pretty things over the weekend! Homemade Cobra mirrors!
5 Attachment(s)
I've had this car for about three and a half months now, loving every minute of it. However, for some reason I've been putting off my favorite mods. I finally just bit the bullet and bought me a decklid panel from LMR, and got me some new pretty mirrors. Easily my favorite appearance mods (besides a lowering and wheels).
I did the mirrors myself with automotive touch-up paint ( link: http://www.automotivetouchup.com) and I am really happy with how they came out. They don't fold, and I do admit that is a very nice feature, but it isn't something that I want to pay another $350-$400 for. This route cost me about $65 for everything, including the cost for another set of mirrors in case of a screw-up. I tried to tape off the lines similar to Cobra mirrors, and sanded the absolute snot of the factory mirrors to get the texture off. Anyways, let me know what you guys think. I know it's cheap and maybe a bit trashy, but to the naked eye they appear the same. Let me know what you think, good or bad! On to the pics! Sorry, no time for a decent photoshoot yet. Some driveway shots will have to do! :PICS: |

Those look really nice. I love the color match look and I ordered some for the Mach but they were a different style and they looked too ricer for me so I sent them back. I think I will give it a try myself but what grit of sand paper did you finish with?

I went to the website on the hyperlink you posted thinking I would just order a spray can of the paint. There are a lot of choices and I was wondering if you used the aerosol can or did you spray it with a gun?

how much you charge to do mine!

Re: Did a couple pretty things over the weekend! Homemade Cobra mirrors!
With as much time as it took I'd probably charge somewhere around $100 plus paint. Like I said, it's not tough to do. You just have to be very intricate. PM me if you want to talk about it.
