@Sven7: I don't know if putty would withstand the chemicals in the automotive paint. I knew Bondo did so I figured if I cover the whole suface of the foam with it then it should work. I just did not count on the Bondo eating the styrofoam ( a little)and then for second coat of Bondo I should've applied a really thick coat so only one time sanding to the final shape instead of keep going back to fix patches and then the surface is different textures if I put a little more or less hardener in the mix so the paint looks spotty etc.
@WD40: Thanks! I think I tried spray foam before on a different project and mine never cured to a sandable state so I'm not going to try that again soon.
Yes I could put the originals back on in about 2 minutes thanks to manual mirrors.(no wires going down the door panel) Pop a cover and 3 phillips screws hold it.
I actually weighed them. The finished mirror (1) weighed 2.0 ounces and the original is 2Lb 5 ounces.Big difference. Although I can't remember if I had the mirror glass in it when I weighed it. (add a few more grams if I didn't)
