Why don't you keep the JDM theme goin' and just paint your whole car green???

My brother is paying $50 to get his driver's side fender painted at a shop. I can't imagine it costing more than that, but then again, what tha hell do I know!!!

Let me know how you do the wiring. My mirrors were okay for a while, then they wouldn't stop folding back to the original position! They would just keep clicking!

Do you have a CF Hood or are you getting the Spoon replica lip? I'd say go a different colour, like CF or something else...

Let me find a pic of what my buddydid with 3 stage paint

u could do it ur self. go to auto store, buy some color matching spray paint some sand paper. and sand the mirror really good, tape up the mirror and do a good job spray painting. i had a mirror broken off and i did this with my old car (silver) with a mirror (maroon)that i picked up at a junk yard it worked really good except that one mirror looked new and the other looked old

i was quoted at my shop 25 dollars/mirror. But they are insanely cheap and do a really good job.

I paid $75 or so to have mine repainted professionally

i really need an opinion on this, you all think i should paint my mirrors black? i wanted to go flat black on them, just to be a little different, and because the paint on them is pretty off.. let me know if you all think this would look good..

thanks

Here is what I was talking about with the three stage paint...the car is yellow but has blue accents in the spoiler and the mirrors...plus a blue pearl...

He painted the backing...but you'll notice he left the "ring" around the mirror yellow (check the one on the left hand side). Cool eh? You'll have to click the link

Yeah. I thought you were parting out the car because you were selling so much stuff. . .but I guess it's just because you essentialy stripped the entire car down to the bone (?)
