Mirrors

I want to say I paid $150 plus shipping for them, but I'm not exactly sure.

I haven't attempted painting it yet. I'll probably start this winter. The good needs to be repainted because of rock chips and moisture which caused bubbling. I'd like to do as mic of the prep work myself to save money.
I've seen various prices now for M3 mirrors. Khoalty has a pair for $100.00. Not a bad price. Will probably add a wide rear view mirror for better angle viewing of blind spots (if I can find the proper replacement.) I made the mistake of purchasing M3 floor mats for $45.00. The M3 logo was nicely stitched, but the carpet material is CHEAP! Won't make that mistake again. Car paint isn't very expensive. Just gotta set up a custom spray booth in my garage. Lots of wood framing, air conditioner filters, and a good suction fan!
