After getting my bumper, mirrors, and wing back from paint the body shop wetsanded them. And the work of compounding, polishing & waxing the parts was left up to me. Saved a shit load of $$, we know the owner at the body shop. Didn't wanna charge anything, but I had to give something so I gave $200. Everything came out really good, except my passenger side mirror has a little more orange peel that needs to be wetsanded but I'm leaving it how it is for now. It took me like 4-5 hours yesterday to get these parts perfect. Came out this morning and snapped a few pics of how they came out. Not bad for $200 haha

Thanks man! I was getting tired of the faded plastic look, figured either have em cleared or body color. Now the car looks more modern and I don't have to worry about them being faded lol.

Yeah they really do. The front is completely transformed now lol. Yea I'm leaving the pony off, I hate the way it looks lol.
Looks great for only 200 bucks!
Yup lol, thanks! Theres some spots here and there i guess from dirt or dust getting underneath the paint, but for $200 i really can't complain.

I love the painted mirrors... I was missing my passenger side when I bought my car... So I ordered one, and I ordered the wrong one. I guess the 94-95 and the 96-98 are different. I ordered the gloss black one and my drivers side was that faded matte black, so I just ordered a drivers side and it looks so much better than that faded crap.

Cars coming along nice! Are you going to put a lift on it??? ;)
