In a previous post I had mentioned that someone had keyed my car, the paint and body shop did an EXCELLENT job. While the car was their I had them paint the door mirror's, this has made a big difference in appearence. For your info the mirrors can be removed in about 15 minutes, just pop off triangular plastic cover,remove three nuts and unplug harness.

Looks great - any problems matching the right shade for the metal flake paint?

Wow, that looks fantastic,

I would love to see how it turns out on a sonic car before I consider doing it.

Paint match is perfect, It also depends on what body shop you use. I have used this body shop in past for collision repairs, nothing but perfection.

Looks awesome!

I don't think it would look as good on brighter colors though. Torch red, yellow, white etc.. would just make those big mirrors stand out even more. I don't think I'll paint mine.

I could be wrong it might look nice on torch too?

I remember this. With all the negative stuff behind you now, just think about how awesome your ride looks now! May the person that did this to you be mounted by a rabid dog! Seriously, congrats on the new paint job, looks outstanding! It's making me want to paint the mirrors to match the car now. Good job by the paintshop.

Well I guess when my car gets here and I have the paint shop do the rear spoiler they might as well do the mirrors too. Great touch and it should look good on the Mineral Gray as well.

Glad your Stang came out nice - and those mirrors look awesome!! I've been wanting to have mine painted for a while now and can't see a reason to wait anymore!

Mines black also, so I won't go that route, but it looks fantastic on the redfire!
