They wrap around the outer edge of the mirror, thru the inside of the mirror housing and down thru the bracket and harness where the mirror wiring goes. From the door thru to the fenders and spliced into the sidemarkers. It wasn't too difficult except I stripped the head on one of the screws and had to buy an ez-out...

You better NOT be feeling my wheels! Between having to let the valet park it once this week and taking it in for some service, there's been too many strange hands on my Box already... :twisted:

I'm not sweating it, they're still MY favorites.

Frgive me for being so picky, but I agree, i think its due to that blue reflection on the left side of the hood that goes up over the roof. Toning that down a bit might help. Same with the blue water through the front windshield. Also, is it just me or is the left side of the post on the left a little too perfect of an edge?

Haha, you guys are comical. I spent 5 minutes playing for SL, when I post stuff up on my photo website, I spend hours tweaking these things for all the little details. Those people care about all the little things, most pics on SL are in someones driveway, anyway.

The flaws may be useful, look at how long you stared at it. hehehe I actually played with desaturating the water seen thru the window, but it didn't look right. I did miss a patch of water by the hood. :oops:

BTW, most bridge engineers like their structures to remain standing, that's why they build the towers STRAIGHT... Do I need to post up some establishing shots to prove its authenticity? Good Grief, everyone's such a skeptic... :o

Yeah Mark, I've really liked how you have taken the camo with your darker cues. It has really come together. Yet, I know there is more on the way. You going to KK on Friday? Hope so!

Good grief sorry for trying to help with a little constructive criticism. Im sorry if i cant share the same jubilation towards an idea thats been done 1,000 times and takes a total of 5 minutes to pull off in photoshop. Maybe you should have spent 6 minutes and learned how to adjust the hue alongside the saturation to make it consistent.




wow its a slow day at work.

Wow, I guess I've been skooled...

I was referring to the comments like it's pasted in and that the post is too straight. It is a much too common comment - "looks fake". There was a simple picture of the rear of a bB recently and people spent many posts picking out possible photoshop flaws when it was just a simple un-altered snapshot.

The amount of effort depends on the audience. I wasn't posting these to say "check out what a great photographer I am", it was for "Check out my Box".

Doesn't matter if they dont "feel" the wheels.
You bought them, go well with the car. I bet they spin nice.
