Thanks guys! I think I'm going to paint them black for now and probably go back later and get them chromed, that will be the plan at least!


Got around to designing the mirrors yesterday not much to show, still need to sand them down and polish some aluminum for the mirror effect

Nice work on the brackets JD. The pics are great, after seeing how you did it I think I might have to give it a try myself.
You are having way too much fun with that printer! Lol

Have you thought about adding marker lights in your new mirrors? I wanted to do that on Sue's truck but there's just not enough room in the stock Tamiya mirrors and I don't have any of those nano LEDs .

Keep us posted

If you don't need it to output a lot of light, check out fiber optic; looks lit just not a lot of light.
