Agent 47 mirrors painted (not what you think) and installed

Over the winter, I ordered Agent 47 mirrors and custom airbrushed them (done by a local artist) and borrowed some of the hard-to-come-by tools like a Torx E5 socket. Today, with time available and a nice spring day, I installed them. I basically wanted to bring the Mustang pony "alive" and in my own way salute the Mustang legend. Photos before installation and after installation attached.

BTW: thanks to those who posted installation instructions with photos, they complemented the Agent 47 install instructions well. I did have a little "tug-of-war" with pulling out the wire harness, but in the end, mirrors are functioning fine and look excellent! I did have to have some kleenex nearby (ref: Agent 47 instructions) to wipe away the tears of joy.

Bro that is absolutley sick> prob on eof the best mods I have seen, and I do not compliment that often. That looks sweet.

PS wou;ld you mind if I stol the idea from you. I have always wanted a graphic painted on my car but always though it would be too overbearing and cheesy however this is perfect.

That's a nice touch. Points for uniqueness.

Thanks for the compliments.

No problem on taking the idea and tailoring it for yourself. The reason I did it with the mirrors, I was thinking the same thing, I would like to have a graphic on my car, but thought the mirror was something I could live with and it would be subtle. Also, I wanted to have the Mustang script somewhere on my car, but could not find a place I liked on the car to stick it.

Fun project. Send pics when done.

For removing the studs from the stock mirror and installing it on the Agent 47 mirrors. Agent 47 instructions indicate that a vise grip could be used, though did not specify socket size.

I reviewed pic-by-pic account from one of the forum's threads:

Chuck, did you sell them through the TMS classifieds? Maybe an understanding buyer would ship what you need back to you if he's just going to have leftover parts when done. Maybe you could just front the shipping?

You'll need the motors, wiring, harness, weather gasket (triangle shape), 11mm bolts (3 each) and the studs (3 each that are screwed into the new mirrors making their own threads in the plastic). The only thing I was left with in the end was the stock mirror shells and the mirrors themselves, useless now unless I use the mirrors for other purposes. Good luck.
