Looks clean.

Just wondering... how'd you black out the side mirrors?

for the mirrors i popped the covers off, sanded them with superfine grit sandpaper. then did about 4 or 5 light coats with krylon fusion spray paint. its a satin black color. the paint is not super smooth but it came out pretty good for about 6 bucks and two hours of work.

next on the list is flat black vinyl on the roof and front bumper section...
