I just love the look of your VIP xb!!! One of my top favs of all time.
Was the hood visor a tough install? I have heard that there is a lot involved in making it look right. Could you briefly tell hat was involved in the install, it looks so clean I would love to install one on my xb, but I heard you have to glass them in and I don't what to start a project like that.......yet

If you buy the authentic stuff it will be easy. I bought the real Fabulous hood wing and all I had to do was prep, paint, and double side tape with two clips. It fit perfect. The knockoffs will give you a hard time due to fitment issues.

Alright guys, quick update! I've gotten my Mercedes turn signal light mirrors installed and they look better than the one in Japan I showed you guys. My brother in law didn't make them look like a punching glove (so round and bulky) and he even kept the body line on the mirror itself. I haven't wired the powerfolding portion of it yet but that is next. I also have to say that the JDM toyota blue rain glass is great! I can see so much on the driver side with it not being magnified. I also like the little touch of the passenger side not having the whole "objects in mirror blah blah blah" I'll get some pictures hopefully tomorrow!
Total cost of mirrors
JDM Powerfolding Mirrors $250 (Birthday present from my wife!)
JDM Toyota Blue Rain Glass $150
Mercedes Turn Signals $110
Brother in law labor $~100
A whopping $610! Man the price I pay to be different.... But it's all worth it!!!
I also added the Tein hood dampners. I had them painted TCM with the mirrors. This mod makes the engine bay look so much cleaner, it's a must for show goers.
