I made some aero mirrors
Hey guys! Just got done installing my new fancy pants aero mirrors.
Made out of a piece of 2" styrofoam insulation. Shaping the foam took 5 minutes but the rest of the paint prep took forever and it still looks like crap (the paint job).
The foam blank was covered with Bondo which eats holes in the styrofoam on the first coat. So after sanding that I needed to apply more Bondo at least two more times and still broke through it to the foam at places but I got sick of sanding so the paint job ( color and clear) is only ok from about 20 feet away.
Also I had to dig deep into the foam at the mirror cavity to get it adjusted properly. I'll report back how much use it is in actual traffic.
BTW this is a 94 Mazda Protege not whatever my MPG signature says.
