Default Painted the Mirrors and Upper Door Trim PIC

Thanks goes out to LikeMike99, this was his idea:


Well, here's my car:















Also shaved my 3rd brake light and added a couple "Shelby" Insignias

Oh Btw, - 1 on the 20 dollar Scott Drake Shifter Bezel, it looks pretty good, but doesn't fit flush,
I reccomend the 50$ - 80$ bezel

Mirrors and door trim look great, not sure about the shaved 3rd brake light or Shelby insignias, unless of course Carroll Shelby did the work.

They didn't remove it, they taped off and sanded it while it was attatched. I'm not sure about the sanding though...


The shop that did it is called Performance Collision in Alpharetta, I highly reccomend, they do great work.

Looks great!!
Not a fan of shelby posing though ..
Now, you have to change the skyscraper antenna and get a shorty ..

How much did the painting cost you?

Good one.
Thoseare the little details that improve a bunch.
Now, the Shelby name on a non-Shelby : Bad idea, but I respect it.

650$ for everything, but the shop really cared about the work and attention to detail.

Nice, I did my mirrors but not the trim. A mistake I hope to rectify soon.
