All mirrors are a two or three stage process depending on the paint code. Believe me when I say, that if its not good enough for my personal car then I wouldn't even offer the painting service to my customers.
well on that note,i'll chime in....im not a big aesthic person so im not really sweating it BUT

the paint itself looks great but the top of one of my mirrors has one little spot of trash in it and its not where you cant see it. its in the upper corner and it doent even look like they tried to sand it and buff it out, they didnt do anything to it as far as i can tell.

im not gripping im happy with them, im just letting you know. i will tell you what though this man ships quickly...i paid fri and got them monday. will try and make time to install this weekend

Thank you Brian, I always try my best to ship the same day the purchase is made. I feel that a customer shouldn't have to wait a week or two just to receive their items. If its in stock, it ships that same day, what ever time and if I can't ship that same day it will go out the next morning.

Since I sent my original mirrors as samples to have the LED mirror covers produced, and I haven't received them back yet I can't finish my DIY.

If there is a CL member in the South Florida area willing to help out with the DIY, in return I can give that CL member a REALLY good price on a set of the LED mirror covers. So if there is anyone willing to help out please PM me, email, or call me.

Anyone in the South Florida area willing to help, need an 2001-2005 GS to finish the DIY instructions.
