It's clean, but too much black for my tastes (your taste obviously differs ). Definitely needs lowered!

Looks good. Black is a damn good looking color on these cars but it's like what you said OP, by the time you wash it, you about have to wash it again even if you don't drive it just because of the dust in the air. Good looking car OP.

Thanks guys
It needs to be lowered. I have everything to get it done just feel lazy to do it lol.


The mirror came from a 95 chubby tahoe. Suburbans have them Also.
95-01.
I made it work. Wasn't hard. But wasn't easy.
Let me know of you guys want more info on that.

It can be installed on any car the sensor goes on the front of the car.
They sell this Mirrors as a kit. They go from $250+.
I spent $25 on mine to get it done lol.
