Did a couple pretty things over the weekend! Homemade Cobra mirrors!

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!
