Default Few pictures of mirrors and polished things

Got bored at work a couple days, so decided to try to polish some things and install my mirrors, plus install Dragon's polished parts! Then I had to drive in the snow we had. The pictures are with a IPhone, so bear with me, it's all I have!












Finally got rid of the paper belt picture.


Just finished washing and cleaning the sand off

Very nice!! I've always stuck with less is more for my car. The only thing I would change is the amount of firehawk symbols on the car. The hood mirrors would look 1000x better with out them and the slp badge. The wire mod and ditching the air pump would help clean up that bay even more.

Hey man, it's been a long time! Thanks. I'm planning on doing that and pulling off the side molding. Just can't get the time.

I use to be that way as far as less, but it takes more, to go up against others at a show with just a stock motor. The red firehawk bird on the lid is coming off, when I paint the lid, but everything else is etched and put on for a reason, but thanks anyway. I hate those wires, that's a project coming up shortly.

I would get rid of the chrome wire loom. It looks cheap to me. Every car I work on I try to hide the wires, not try and make them stand out.

I might have to. I just got finished sanding down the air lid and taking off the decal. Next, is sanding down that red washer bottle top.
