Before I embark on the tail, I figured it would be good to get some more fiberglass experience since I have very little (I built a sub box once, but that's about it). So, I found some inspiration in this thread and started chopping up my stock mirrors. I basically followed the same process, with the exception of having to glass in the plastic bit that holds the attachment bolts as it's a separate piece from the mirror housing in my car. Bondoed and sanded:



Painted and on the car:





Next up, I'm going to glass and paint the upper grill to match, and then do the lower bumper. Then I think I'll be ready to tackle a full tail.
