this is a "Muffler Delete" where i come from!

Sounds perfect! drove all the way home with no radio on just listening to my V8 humming. Love the sound. Re-Polishing my tips and trying to get them looking as good as i can before i remount them

When i bought the car the passenger mirror was cracked in half like someone backed into a garage and hit the mirror. So it also swivels and won't hold still. So i made an offer on one used mirror shell i saw on eBay. It was green. I believe he wanted $70 but had the "make an offer" button on it so i offered $30, the we settled on like $40 with shipping. So i removed mine from the outside of the car being careful not to scratch the paint with tape on the car and a right angle phillips.

Replacement used Green Shell

Sand, 2 prime coats, 3 base black onyx, 3 coats clear

Needs some Wet Sanding and Buffing / Polishing

1000, then 2000 grit wet sand then - Ultimate Compound Meguiars with the Griot Orbital works wonders

Much better! good reflection

Glossy now
