I was watching the Izod Indy car series yesterday and wow they have an aero looking mirror on their side pods. I was thinking I need something like that sitting close to my side window verticaly on my car. Probably a very small aero penalty.

Good luck! Did you ever refinish the wheels?

Thanks Neen. I need something more aggressive than soap and water to clean them properly, and I am completely out of money. I did decide on a charcoal center with a polished lip.

I have done a reso work on the body and was able to get the tarnish off the paint. It actually shines now. Got two of the rims cleaned up, they are stained so I will be painting them soon.

Last tank was 31.5 mpg, the only thing changed was the weather.

Thanks . Yes I masked the lip and used black wheel paint, cost all of $7 plus i had the masking tape on hand.
I also beat most of the dent out of the rim with a ball ping hammer.
