nice box man. Where'd you get those mirrors w/ the blinker light and how much was that carbon fiber applique where the rear license plate is.

Hey is that an antenna where the wiper used to be ? I was thinking of doing the same thing. Is it hard to take apart?

Default Q

How do you get the front windshield tinted across the top like that? Is it a kit you can buy in the store and apply yourself?

Thanks to everyone for the compliments. I'll try to answer some of the Q's and such

I couldn't bring myself to pay $200-300 for the mirror covers. I found these stick-on LED blinkers on eBay. They are from pilotautomotive.com, the model # is CZ-128A but I can't find them on their site. Someone said they had them at AutoZone or Pep Boys might car them too. Another of my mods on the cheap. They were about 30 bucks...
The bumper applique I got from Paul at www.allscion.com. I got a special price on that with my CF door handle overlays. You'd have to check with him on price. It doesn't cover as much as I had expected, and Steve at bBist.com makes a full CF replacement that is tight, but since I've already got this...

No antenna, that's my T-Rex tail. I got tired of the wiper so I took it off but needed something to cover the nub until I get a camera and take the rest out. When I turn on the rear wiper, the tail wags.

I just took it to a tint shop and told them I wanted a visor strip. They only charged $35. To DIY, put some tint across the outside of the windshield and position the bottom where you want it to be on the window. Trace the upper edges of the windshield, then cut it and stick it to the inside. The bottom edge of the tint strip is actually a straight edge, but the curve of the window gives it the tapered on the edges look. I've seen some people with it applied so it is stright looking not tapered. I like it this way.

Yeah, I was actually thinking of doing that. I've got a few things I'm gonna try with that.

Thanks, I've got a few that are even more like that but they got some lens flare. It reminds me of the blank room in The Matrix.

When I plan my Nor*Cal meet in Livermore, we'll have to go here and take some pics. It's completely empty at night but fully lit.

Thanks again for the comments, keep 'em coming. :D

nice car and pics! Can you do a close up of the mirror blinkers? They don't have to be all artsy or anything either Do they looks aftermarket or flush up pretty good? Seems like a nice safety addition.
