Passenger side mirror delete, complete
So my first eco-modification is completed (not counting the 5-speed swap haha). Also first time I used fiberglass. :)
I went for a stylish, factory-looking block-off plate using a spare mirror. On to the pictures... Stock mirror http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/u...llIMG_0079.jpg http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/u...llIMG_0077.jpg Spare cut off http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/u...llIMG_0082.jpg After rough shaping, on the car http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/u...llIMG_0083.jpg A piece of plastic "foil" was taped on the outside to create a base for the fiberglass http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/u...llIMG_0086.jpg First layer http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/u...llIMG_0089.jpg Fast forward, fiberglass finished, rough shaped http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/u...llIMG_0099.jpg First layer of body filler http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/u...llIMG_0120.jpg First layer of body filler sanded, second applied http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/u...llIMG_0123.jpg |
Then after 4-5 coats of primer and 5-6 coats of Tremclad rust paint (most were watersanded away lol)

seamless
It's a pity that so few will ever realize what you've done,and all the effort that went into it.Truly a seamless modification which would embarrass even the automakers.Really top drawer! Thanks!:thumbup:
|
Thank you kindly ! :)
|
I agree, very well done indeed. I hope that you can see some good results from it.
|
Nice!
|
that looks almost exactly like what I did on my car. For me it was worth 1.4 MPG I think.
Are you going to add a mirror on the inside? |
I used black gorilla tape backed by a piece of cardboard. Yours looks much nicer. Good job.

I was going to but I installed my outside mirror back for now. I did find a spot where I could do some A-B-A-B testing, I shall see when I feel like doing it. :o |
Very nice job!!! We just need thousands, if not millions of people to follow you!
