So now for some hand's on creativity!

When i bought the "APR Universal GT3" Mirror i knew that i was going to have to make a custom face plate for the mirrors to actually bolt up to.
Since i dont feel like taking off the ones i have on for measurements i just used my stock mirrors for measuring out a template.

After measuring up the mirrors and where i am going to have to mach up bolt holes for i ended up with this clean template.

Once all said and done after being cut out of cardboard to save on materials this is what it will look like for the most part.

And to think ahead of time towards the aftermath of installing them, to reduce the chance of getting any kind of moisture, water in the door panels or scratches on the door itself i created a piece of waterproof foam that will be sealed and held down by the bolts where the holes are.

Hopefully this week i get a chance to pick up a bit of 12 gauge sheet metal to make this work.

Thanks, Yeah i have no clue what im going to do on the subject of Bags VS. Static. One day i'll wake and be like..... BAGS or.... Static haha

Leave the wheels alone! Just clear over the centers, I think they looks great.

Thanks. Put alot of work into them over the past few weeks.

I vote polished faces!
this might seem weird but go on to your local home depot or lowes and check out the the chain link or metal fence caps they have, i know of a lot of people who have gotten those end caps to work as centers before

Iv'e never heard of that but its worth a try. Going to run out this week and look into that.

YES YOU WENT WITH APR MIRRORS!!!!!!! I totally suggested those. Im still on the fence if I want them for my hardbody thou, my friend just got some for his s2k a bit ago and there sick

Haha yeah i did. I think for this racetruck look its going to help pull it off.

those wheels look great

Thanks man.

Just read this whole fucker and you have done a lot. I would love to see this stay static with some stretch and camber; keep up the good work!!

Damn dude those look awesome!

Thanks! Still some work ahead of me and the pitting is something i have to deal with. One day ill buy brand new wheels haha.

I'd leave them like that, no goofy colours needed, they look so damn good as they are.

I wasn't going to do any crazy color. I was either going to do White/Silver/ Or the metal finish that's on them now. I still have to finish cleaning the faces up so i have a little time till i decide on color. I can't seem to find any center caps that are slim and smaller so ill have to use the big black bulky ones i have now till i get some custom ones made.
