New mods...
 
Ok, so I put on my red Ray's extended tuner lugs, vent visors, clear sidemarkers and on the passenger side, I installed my carbon fiber f1 mirror. I really like everything but am undecided on the mirrors. Give me opinions...

looks good. i like the stock mirror better. the CF one looks too small and not proportional to the rest of the car.

yeah everything is nice but the mirrors. looks really small for the car and i wonder if you can even see out of it.

If you want a set, I may be willing to work something out with you, possibly a swap. Yeah, it has everything needed...

nay on the mirror, you need a stock spoiler to bulk up the rear and paint front grill. SSM spoiler on cf trunk would look nuts. i was gonna do it but im gonna sell my car soon

where did u get them from? id be down for a swap. i love my bomex mirrors but just want something different. can u take any up close pics straight on? thanks. any fitment issues or gaps?

andyman97 06-21-2008 06:26 PM

Re: New mods...
 
They fit really well, no fitment issues or anything. I can take some closer pics, hit me up on aim or pm.

I think a silver spoiler on my trunk would be hideous and throw it off. I have plans for a spoiler in the near future, the car will be undergoing some major cosmetic surgery.

That's cool, I'm liking the lugs, and I actually really like the mirrors. I think they look good on your car... Hey if you don't want them I'll buy them off of you.

Re: New mods...
 
Personally, I kinda like the mirrors, but only if they were a little bit bigger. I started playing around with Photoshop, and here's how it would look with them a little bit bigger:

I meant to just do the mirrors, but I couldn't leave well enough alone.

Yup, if Andy did this it would compliment the look and style nicely. Looking good:tup:

I think that is his new carbon fiber roof Nick.

andyman97 06-22-2008 06:14 PM

Re: New mods...
 
Naw, it's black, I had it painted when I had the roof replaced and the handles painted about a month and a half ago.

3 drops of pee trickled out when i actually believed you for a second.... that would be disgustingly sick though.

Re: New mods...
 
I still intend to do the roof, but it isn't up to me, honestly. I have a guy somewhat local that does composite work and he's really good, but he's never done a roof before and he's trying to figure out the best way to do it. The first idea he had didn't work out so he's toying with new ideas. His concern is the resin cracking on top of the metal in extreme temps...

Re: New mods...
 
Yeah, I'd think it'd take a LOT of TLC to keep it from looking like crap in about 3 months.
