I'd like to see the complete shot of the car with the mirrors Tony. I've always liked the Gandor style mirrors for the sporty look

Ditto, my only concern is that they might look too small on such a large body. But the dude with the LSx swap GS had them on his too and they weren't that bad.

This was before I painted them. All the newer pictures I have of the mirrors on and painted include other changes to the car that aren't finished yet so I'll have to hold off on those.



Picture of them on CleanS14's whip

thank you! yeah I really want to post up some teaser shots but it really needs to wait. a lot of work to come and a lot of little things to do before she is ready for the public eye. a few people that stop by my work have seen the progress. so far, the reactions are very good.

thanks for the comments on the front end guys, however that is something i chose to change for this round of modifications. the old bumper is up for sale in the classifieds section. it was time for a facelift.

here's the thread to that
