well here's the thing, i had my pass mirror broken out so i'm gettin some from yahoo auctions in japan. got a good deal on em but they are unpainted.

was thinking of painting them back to gloss black or maybe flat black but don't know if others have them body color (red for me) and how they look. looking for some opinions, post em if you got em.

thanks all

austin

Since you have a HB, do you have that "black top" theme? If so, paint the mirrors black. If you dont have the "black top" just paint it body color:)

no, don't have the black top theme....yet. not sure which way i'm going with paint yet. i like the red and the paint is decent but the car was heavily keyed down the doors and rear quarter pannels before i got it so it needs new paint. going to wait until i get my body pieces first but the aero mirrors i got are awesome...will post up some pics.

looking at going flat black for now (primer) until i get the car painted but want to know if i should have them painted along with the rest of the car.

i haven't seen a black top in person, would be really interested to see it for the plans that i have for the car...CF>Black>CF look, get me? haha

thanks guys

I think that s13s look great with a red bottom and black top.

ok, well for a quick fix you should be able to right click, properties, copy and paste the link to a new window.

PITA but works for now. still trying to upload to members rides.

Ok comp guys...answer me this question. this is my error uploading to the site.

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/websites/nissanin/www/photopost/uploads/9689/2.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in d:\websites\nissanin\www\photopost\image-inc.php on line 34

i'm assuming the permissions were denied to my computer either by our service provider (which one right?haha) or by my computers IC security settings. nothing should have changed on my end but for some reason....possibly due to terrible connection rates and losses or due to the attack from before? dunno.

thanks bro, BTW, where's Roanoke? i live in SW D.C. have a few meets and events i go to in VA so should meet up with us some time.

Roanoke is in the South Western corner of VA... about 5 hours from D.C.

5 hours? i can make it to baltimore in 5 hours. DC is closer to 3 and a half. I've driven to Bethesda in that time, and I only do about 10 over on I-81.

If you take 66 west and hook up to 81 south, you'll end up in Roanoke

If it was me it would be 5 hours... 2 would be spent going the wrong way ;)
