Side Mirrors DONE!

They had the car two days, picked it up this afternoon.. It was raining when I dropped it off and they at least rinsed off the whole car, but by no means washed it. You know what the stock mirrors look like, but I'll post one pic for comparison (i didn't do before pics, figured it wasn't necessary)

I'm happy with them. They didn't do anything special to "smooth" the surface, just the prep/primer/paint/clearcoat, but the prep did smooth it out some. If you get right on it, yeah, you can still see the surface, but from 3 feet away can't tell a thing.

I didn't get any pics from the inside, but the paint does wrap and all you can from the interior is sonic blue goodness.

Both cars look way cool! You can also obtain a partial mirror colour change by going to the site below.

Sure wish an after market tear drop mirror would come out. I sure hate the stock look of the ones on 05-07 cars.

I was hoping the Cobra's would have upgraded mirrors like past cars, but no such luck.

I keep meaning to measure mine against my wifes CR-V. I think mine are actually larger The least they could have done is to make them break away since they're so big

Mirrors look GREAT! How much did they charge to do them?

I paid just under $200 for the spoilers, the antenna delete and the lower grille. He threw in the mirrors for free since he was shooting all those parts any way. I did the prep work on them myself.
