Testing the New Mirror

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 3:05 am

Well finally finished making the mount for my new billet mirrors. I only made one so i wouldn't waste my time if i didn't like it. Now i'll get started on the other side cause i think it looks pretty sweet.

Hmmm I dunno.. there's just something about it that doesn't look very proportional to the rest of the car and doesn't flow very well.

it's too big. if it had a smaller leg it would look nice.

i might get some mirrors with a straighter stalk instead of a curved one

yea that would probably look better. if you look at the side profile, you see how high up on the window it sits, thats what makes it look funny imo

actually, i think what makes it look outta place is the black primer... other than that it looks f-ing sweet.

I like it, I think it would look better if the stalk was either smaller or black.

looks good, but i think it will look better with a straight stalk... oh when u gonna get ur trunk 2 toned?

Just incase your guys were wondering, these are the rims i will be going with

18" Intro GT Sport Rims & im going to have the five bars painted to match the lower half of the car

Too small IMO
I like the ones you have on the car now with the back side painted the color of the car. Those rock and are one off.

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 7:30 pm

well they aren't really a one off. anyone can do it & it has been done too. I want more of a custom minitrucker look instead of a custom painted look

i think if you have a curved stock like that, that the mirror would be coming down from above, like..mounted on the pillar beside the windshield. it looks like outta place, being small, and coming off a black plastic piece.

Uhm...that's certainly....uhh..different.

I don't personally like it either, but way to go on the unique factor.

its different and looks good. the only thing i would change is maybe get a bigger mirror, but still have the oval shape just bigger.

sweet rims, not feelin the mirrors

Vernon · Post by **Vernon** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 9:52 pm

The mirrors are a great idea, will look awesome with those wheels...but as much as you dont likely want to do it...I think they would look better mounted right on the door skin
something like this...

Just seemed like it was too high up on the car. Only thing is there would be no room for error now having just got the car painted.

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 12:53 am

that actually does look better

Ya I like it a lot better now that V moved it in the pic.... still not 100% sure but its much better lower on the door

Rapley · Post by **Rapley** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 8:38 pm

He's what i like the look of, may require a diff mirror with a different shaped stock. but i've seen this on some trucks in Truckin, peep mirrors!

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 12:33 am

to me the car without mirrors is like someone without ears, just doesn't look right. the mirror mount up on the a pillar like that just doesn't apeal too well with me
