Soul Help (Side mirror)
 
I was finally convinced to start modding my car by weatherspotter... anyways after a long warm up we tried a side mirror fold in.

Nothing much to see here so we tried deleting the mirror.

Note: the tape we used to cover the mirror hole flew off almost at the beginning of the test run making a crap ton of air noise, so I am not sure if any of the data will mean anything... Weatherspotter fabricated a true cover and we are waiting for another good testing day to try it out.

Inside cover off and one bolt out (see the mirror power is unplugged):
