Painting Mirrors

[MustangChris]

yea. its all good. i love the sn95s. the looks, the goods, the bads, the slowness, the fastness... i love em. they can teabag my balls if they feel otherwise.

 

[Slykin]

Agreed. I don't listen to people who think cars over 7-8 years are OLD.

 

[MustangChris]

thats just getting past the "break in" period... you know, when the repair bills start to "break in" to your monthly budget. LOL

 

[Slykin]

Pfft, maybe if you rag it lol. My mom's accord has 125k and we haven't touched anything but the battery,tires, and oil. How the heck the brake pads are still good is beyond me.

Hey OP, sorry about me and Chris' post whoring... Kinda.

 

[MustangChris]

haha. my buick is pushing 160 :-D

and yea, sorry! (at least my whoring came with pix of the mirrors lol)

my 04 f150 is creeping up on mileage as my 96. daily driving and weekend commuting.

our 94 GT made it to 96k as a DD for my mother and never had any major problems. Just all about how its driven and what was done to it.... Most people will drive a camry the way it was intended, well same could be said for the stang........

We have two sets of 03/04 cobra mirrors if anyone is feeling saucy..... One set is mint in Redfire, the other set is Mystichrome but one of them needs to be repainted.

Yep... all of my friends politely dismiss my mustang as an "actual" mustang. Some of my less tactful "acquaintances" have even gone so far as calling "those mustangs from the 90's" hideous and saying they are the worst looking mustangs/shouldn't have been built etc etc....

I just had one of those conversations with my friend the other day. And I personally like year. I could care less about my crappy npi heads and stock motor. I like these body styles. They're sexy and you know it.

@Chris: those lips on the 03/04 are huge. Did you ever consider shaving them down or is that not really possible?

 

[det_riot]

It is possible to shave them down. I know Many people have done it before!

They look good, if you are referring to the car in your sig!

 

[ttocs]

I loved the difference it made in my DFG as well just on the stock mirrors.

 

[Gallows]

I like the black on red look. What do you have on your car for mirrors now?

Thankee, here's another pic. It's all kind of personal taste. Some people think it looks cheap, like the painter didnt mask it off or something, but I think it's the complete opposite. Big hunks of plastic on the exterior just look odd to me, don't really like it on anything.

I like the OEM look... I painted mine with duplicolor Trim black for 7 bucks. Came out PERFECT.
Cleaned them, wiped them down with wax/grease remover, then tack cloth, 3 light coats of Duplicolor Trim black paint w/ 10 min between coats. I'll post pics when I put them and all the other black trim I've refinished back on the car. Gonna look incredible I think.

 

[MadStang]

nothing like sanded smooth and painted mirrors. shoulda been oem.
