im starting to dislike the way auto enthusiasts are treating other enthusiasts when i was young everybody gave people respect now its more of an argument on whos "dick" is bigger than whos, who the **** cares its his car he did something on his own instead of blowing 300 dollars on "JDM" mirrors, call me crazy but not everybody has an extra 15,000 dollars to blow on the best parts after spending 30000 grand on a car.

This is one of the funniest threads ever just because of the shear bashing that is going on. I really don't care. I spent 5 bucks, and can put on my stockers any time I want. I will most likely pull off the factory mirror mounts down the road and make a cleaner mount for them, but for now they work. I admit they got hit with the ugly stick. But it was a "cheap" stick.
It's true you don't need mirrors at the track... but...why do most race cars still have them? The car is still a daily driver, it needs mirrors. I'm just working on removing all the "easy" weight on the car that still leaves it drivable everyday.
Almost every "mod" on my car was made by me. If I could grind cams I would have, I couldn't so I have HKS. My boost control, cat-delete, cat-back, heat shield, intake, intercooler pipes, battery kit, grounding wires, shifter bushings, trunk and strut braces, brake cooling ducts, intake duct, headlights, taillights, intercooler CO2 sprayer, catch can etc... Dollar-for-Dollar my car is on a mission to be fast. And it's still got lots of parts that need to be made.
Bash On. They will get better looking when I have some more time.

I guess this guy is all about saving money. Stock painted wheels (all stock wheels painted a different color look like crap to me, but hey, his car) and cheap *** DIY mirrors. Hahahaha, I love this guy.
