Default My Mirror Mod

I found these cool mirrors and put them to a good use. After removing the stockers, I filled the ugly void with the trim pieces from the inside of the door. I used the driver side interior trim piece for the passenger side outside void and vice-versa. They need a little trimming and some black silicone to make them fit properly. I have a local wrecking yard looking for some used interior trim to replace the ones I snatched from my XB.

looks like u had an accident then went out got bicycle mirrors and super glued them on your car. might be a bit better if they were actually on the black part instead of the frame of the door but i still dont think it flows at all.

Nice job man..but I think it would look much better if you would paint it the mirrors with the same color as your car. I am not a fan of chrome..But nice job man..

^hes going for the ratty look, just saving up enough courage to get the paint going. the mirrors fit dude, but they should be up higher if your going to use peep mirrors

Murphy's Law..... You got it, the Ratty Look. I tried them up higher and they just did not look right. I guess what matters is that I like it.
