updatorss

got a new mount for my cobra radar its not the best radar but it gives SOME notification



also picked up a new OEM black column cover, since mine was painted. unfortunately they sent me two bottom pieces and no top piece so yay for having to ship **** all over



and picked up these mirrors from shg easy e. they arent apr but they are good quality and in good condition, im not ashamed to put them on my car.

Ha, nice cop on those mirrors! Whats not legit about them? Looks better than most of the ones I see. You buy mad stuff from him haha, would you buy dirt if he had it for sale? :p

I dont even use my radar anymore, I have a nice escort but just not worth having it. Its like false security. I also had to buy a suction cup mount similar to that, works very nice.

Boo for Honda not sending the right parts!

mattrt09

if he sold dirt it would probably be the cleanest dirt in the best condition haha he has alot of **** thats in really good condition for good price. Im not one to turn down a deal, idc if it makes me look like a fan boy

haha well you should go ahead and send that **** my way i use mine daily. i hit the brakes as soon as i hear a beep

yea they pissed me off

SHG_Claudio

hahaha yeah thats funny but true, you would be able to eat of his dirt lol.

EGs dont have the best air circulation, thus having a radar there makes it hard to defog on those cold nights. I should put mine back though, you never know.

just spent a good 40 mins checking out this thread. good stuff

mattrt09

haha thanks man! thank you for reading!

well tonight i decided to start working on my mirror bases. it wasnt fun to say the least


i decided to use the left over pieces of ABS plastic from my top one splitter.



took the mirrors off



tools i picked up to aid the process





1st rough draft



and after a little more trimming and sanding i have a version im ok with. here it is mocked up with some bolts i had lying around






i still have more to do on them before i get the finished product i.e. more sanding because it still doesnt fit quite right at the top, weather stripping around the outside, and sand and repaint them.
but for right now i am pleased. The car will be down for about 2 weeks while i wait on my power steering lines from encore dc5



more to come!

SHG_Claudio

Looking forward to see how its going to come out. What happened with the Top One splitter, I liked it on there! You butchered it up to take the plastic from it lol, nice hahaha

Trying to install those side mirrors looks like a pain, wonder what its gona come out like.

mattrt09

haha no it didnt make it through daily driving

it wasnt the best design

it is a pain, since no one makes base plates for the rsx. and well...i hope it comes out alright lol

hondafreak95

Yeah I hear ya man, good luck with them. Makes me want to try it with my car, then again I dont have the patience to do it lol

mattrt09

Nice, whats the need for the fitting? To clean it up?
