mediaultra · December 15th, 2006, 08:20 PM

Hey everyone,

Just got my side mirrors back today!! Pretty happy with the results overall...

ALSO, Don't know if I like them or not but I got those HEADLIGHT COVERS today also....I had an 80.00 CREDIT at a local motorsports shop in town and HAD to use it before the end of the year...soooo.....

GreenFaleen · December 15th, 2006, 08:24 PM

nice mirrors look great.

mediaultra · December 15th, 2006, 08:25 PM

Thanks!!...Total for paint and labor was 140.00 and I wet sanded them before hand...not too bad...

scubasteve041186 · December 15th, 2006, 08:26 PM

you know what i liek the frotn grill and the mirrors being painted.. hey just curious my mirrors are alrdy painted as well...... is it possible that it came factory like that or no? cause i know my 01 had black mirrors

mediaultra · December 15th, 2006, 08:37 PM

I think YES

I know 03's and up had matching mirrors as an option..

Cricket · December 16th, 2006, 01:06 AM

Onemanzu · December 16th, 2006, 02:51 AM

+1 mirrors = yea

headlights = yikes...

97TunedMustang · December 16th, 2006, 03:58 AM

I agree. mirrors look good. i dont like the headlight covers, er whatever they are.

QuEeNiEsTaNg · December 16th, 2006, 08:14 AM

Hey. I love the mirrors, did you get them done locally around you or something that had to be shipped out and done? If so whered you get them done? I really like that alot....

The whole car is just hot.

*but I have to say, I dont like the stuff on the headlights, sorry

Youngin · December 16th, 2006, 09:26 AM

nice dude was it hard? i mean like did paint drip?

Lt_Crazy · December 16th, 2006, 11:14 AM

nice....they look good but take off the headlight covers its ruins **********!!

mediaultra · December 16th, 2006, 01:50 PM

I went to a local paint wholesale shop and they put a little meter on the body of my car and that gave a read out with the paint code (since it is a 2000 model) that helps them account for paint fading INSTEAD of just mixing me up some factory paint that wouldn't match. (COST: $40.00 for half a pint of PPG) which is top of the line paint.

Then I dropped off the mirrors at a place called Super Shop here in town and they sprayed them and clear coated them for $100.00, drove around that day with no mirrors and picked them up the very next day!

Yeah Like I said I had to use a credit at a local speed shop that I had for returning some speakers and those headlight covers are the ONLY thing they had for a mustang in stock......

I AM THINKING of painting the covers WHITE and leaving holes or something for the headlights/turn signals to shine through...

I hate the flames thing too..
but it does kind've tie in with my lil red fire extinguisher...LOL

I think I'll paint them today since it's nice out...TOO EXPENSIVE to get them painted to MATCH the car color but that would probably look better than white...AHHH Descisions, Decisions...hehe

Thanks for all the comments...It's funny I've never met any of you in person yet, but as soon as I do something it's like calling up a buddy to come over and check it out...so I'm snapping away pics to show you guys (and gals)...

We'll see how the covers turn out white instead of flamed...

mediaultra · December 16th, 2006, 07:13 PM

Alright....I didn't like the FLAMES on the headlight covers that much either....

So after screwing around all day trying to get the covers to MATCH the paint of the car....I went this way instead......

BEFORE:

-----------------------------
AFTER:

Still have to touch them up a bit and "extend" the tribal patterns a little...

I think it ties in nicely with the white/black of the tires/rims.....

Onemanzu · December 16th, 2006, 07:44 PM

what im thinking... if you take the lines from the front headlights.... and extend em back... would they match up with the rest of the hood's lines...?

or you could get the pony air brushed in a tribal theme

Brianzeke007 · December 16th, 2006, 07:54 PM

car = beautiful
headlights = rice

mediaultra · December 16th, 2006, 08:06 PM

Brianzeke007:

Yeah sort've...but the covers I got with a store credit that I HAD to use or lose had hideous flames (see above pic)...and if I screw them up too bad I'll just paint them black and be done with it...

I am kind've worried about putting TOO MUCH White in the mix of things....

We'll see how it goes when I finish up the front end tomm... I do kind've like the idea of tribal on the car since I have a few tribal tats myself...

GreenFaleen · December 16th, 2006, 08:35 PM

they are a cool picture nice work. Not sure if they are my favorite on the car though.

Youngin · December 16th, 2006, 10:31 PM

the car looks nice but that headlight looks like its from india

Tony_90fox · December 16th, 2006, 11:46 PM
