No more ****** pics. LOL

Are the arms black or MG? I can't tell. I like them though!

sorry, I'm not luggin' my DSLR around! :D

The arms are stock.

Actually.........that cover comes right off - makes it a little easier to paint the head.

That's good to know. Since summer now been kicking around the idea of having mine painted. I just don't have a painter at my disposal like you do!

No need to take them apart. The front part snaps off (the arm) and it opens up a LOT of room there to paint. I didn't feel like possibly damaging the mirrors to remove them, so we painted that way. You can't see the paint lines, so I'm good to go!

Looks nice!

:hat:

WTF! over. Im obviously missing something.

How can i make this...

You mean the larger side mirror? Thats factory on the 4th gens. :grd:

Outsourced em... :emotions33:

It's a semi-gloss metallic finish on the bezel and the trim ring for the light. reflectors are still factory chrome.

bingo! :D

I talked with the painter last night. My original assumption was a little low..........

If you send me the mirrors, the "base" colors (blacks, mineral gray, etc) are 110. the more expensive ones may run 130 (reds, oranges, etc). Add on shipping back to you, probably about the same as heads - 30-35.

The fun part? I don't have cores for these things. I just don't have room for it!

I'm not sold on them yet..........

The original plan was to do a set of those, all decked out......but I'm switching gears and I'l (hopefully) going to rock the first set of full on custom '13 projectors.

I'm already looking up tow mirrors on ebay and with the prices I'm seeing, that's not a bad deal at all, haha.
