Yellow mirror covers!? (pics)



I don't like the way they turned out but I thought I'd post pics of them anyway.

yeah, definitely a no. Maybe if it was just the turn signal strip section so it wouldn't be so big, but even that's iffy.

Thanks for posting though for others. Just as important as info on what to do is what not to do.

Haha, from the small thumbnail pics it looks like the entire side mirror is gold or something. Made me think of al those rich people in Abu Dhabi that gold-plate the benzes. Definitely not classy, but good idea! Glad we all know NOT to do that now...

Look like BBS LM replicas.

I think they are the WORK VS-XX wheels. OP or anyone can correct me if I'm off.

Thanks to everyone for confirming that it looks like crap. lol

I wrapped the fogs and mirrors with the same yellow vinyl, but they turned out so different in color! Shows you how much the reflector & housing can affect the final result.

Mrs. Mangoango was not happy with the mirrors so they're definitely coming off.

Yeah, not looking optimal....hopefully it's easy to "undo" and didn't cost you very much.

My mirrors got into a fight with a yellow Bic highlighter. And the highlighter won.

The vinyl was only 6 bucks from ebay.

The bigger bummer is that I thought I had a new and original idea that people would like. I thought it would make me popular, increase my interwebz friend count, get my car on a magazine cover...
