i guess you get what you pay for  but i am on a lower tax bracket budget. so the eBay lip took a lot of heat gun and what not. took about an hour to install. needs to dry for a good 12 now. proof it can be done by yourself but with a friend woulda been easier. but i live out in the boonies and didnt feel like waiting another week.

My passenger mirror is cracked and i am going to get a new cover for it, but, it seems to swivel freely and loosely. as opposed to the driver side that is solid and doesnt move. Is there a trick to keep it still aside JB Weld  ???

Staying with my small budget, I wasn't going to pay more than i did for the car for some Maya RT5's. I gotta say thanks to member "projectdna" for directing me to the right tire fitment. So anyways, i went with staggered PRIVAT LEGENDE Matte Graphite/Machine Lip wrapped in FALKEN FK-452's.
