Finally got some parts coming in and it's time to make my few aeromods a bit more permanent.

First up is the driver's side mirror swap. The stock mirrors are pretty big and blocky with huge attachment posts. Since a utility truck at work was nice enough to break off one of my mirrors and hand me a check for the value of a stock replacement + installation, I picked up a new pair of mirrors for dirt cheap plus a replacement grill. Anywho, the new mirrors are much more aero-looking than stock.





I'll post pics of some of the progress/steps once it's on (currently on my desk at work).

Thanks to generically made aftermarket mirrors, I have a stock-ish blanking plate for my passenger side instead of the mess it currently is. I'll be taking care of that tomorrow, I just need something to fill the flat shape in the blank (as shown later) so it's removable.

Also thanks to the mirror fund, the replacement upper grill that I got will be the beginning of a more clean and more permanent grill block than my current packing tape solution. Picks of that to come once it's delivered.
