Mirror Cap Ideas?


Livvakt

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

While at the Pick 'N' Pull this weekend with Bill, Reid, and Trey, I managed to score some mirror caps that were in pretty awesome condition all things considered (thanks for the help popping them off the mirror housings, Trey :)) for $4.00 for both.

I've been meaning to get a second set to try to do some fun paint ideas, but I'm curious if anyone here has any cool concepts. I've tossed around the idea of a ska-styled checkerboard, which has been done before. Also considering maybe doing Swedish flags? Who knows.

I'm also not opposed to the idea of contrasting colors ala Swededemon. Depending on the idea, might try to incorporate the mirror pattern into/onto the engine cover, just for some fun continuity... Or not, who knows :lol:

So? Thoughts? Anything I'm not thinking of that could be kinda cool? Lemme know :)

You found an 850 at a Pick-n-Pull? nice.

* CF

* LED blinkers

We found 2 850s there :)

I like the idea of CF, could be a possibility...

I'm not looking to retrofit my current mirrors with the LEDs though; I only snagged the caps, not the whole housings

Ah yes, I went to that one!

There was an S60 and 850 there last time I went. The 850 was MINT (it came in the day before I got there). I bought a hood off that car for $50 and had it repainted for $400 (+ blending for my fenders) after I screwed mine up.

Got your PM man. Let's definitely do a car day one of tehse days. I need to clean my garage a bit first, it's a mess and can only fit 1.5 cars for now, lol.

I vote for DICKS!

or how about nudie pictures?? that would be HOTT!!

hey can I get your old caps when you pull em off..

Sorry buddy, I'm keeping the black. The reason I hadn't done any painting, etc. yet was because I wanted to be able to swap back to stock whenever the urge hit me.

No to dicks, :lol:, but the idea of Pin-Ups could be kinda cool if done correctly...

Sorta in that style, but in a pose/position more suitable for the mirrors...

Glow in the dark B).

That's what'd I do.... but I've got a red car so it'd be easier to find glow in the dark red paint that'd somewhat match my car lol. Can't really find glow in the dark black :lol:.

What about camo or checkers like on that silver S40?
