hey guys, thanks for the compliments. I bought the mirrors from thespeedline on ebay, and they are just the covers.

SSG/dappy, sorry, but i don't think i will be able to make it this saturday. I gotta go get my rims put on, otherwise i'd be driving with my winter tires forever, lol. I'll see you guys at the big meet though.

^^^haha, yeah, i really want to go to the mini meet also, but I won't be back till sunday afternoon, if you guys can hold it till then, the meet will be the first place I stop when I drive back

passnu2, my mechanic supposed to get it done for me today, but he was sick (i was so disappointed, but what can you do, he's only human too), so i will have to wait until friday to see if he feels better, otherwise, i'd probably gonna get my dad to help me and link it up ourselves. should be a fun weekend, except i couldn't meet on saturday

I have a good suggestion. How about we hold the meet at your place. That way we can see the mod in progress. Good idea? I'm sure your dad will wonder if he has to assist us all on the mirror mod too.

How hard was it to wire up? Seems like you need to tap into the corner lights somehow?

they are LED's so if you wanted I don't see why you wouldn't be able? It has a clear lens so I left them as it was. I like it

well, my mechanic is still sick, so i will be driving with them without power till tomorrow. I will ask my dad to help me with this, he's pretty good with this kind of stuff. If passnu2 says 5 min, then it's probably true, his instructions are always right on
