I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Thanks guys! Sorry i forgot I never updated you when I got the mirrors. They're alright, the actual mirror is awesome, almost a convex blue tinted lense, with nice weaved carbon fiber on the outside. But the base is very eh, shitty lol. Plastic, fits like crap, and leaks water like a son of a bitch. Oh well...good thing this thing rarely see's rain! :thumbup:

Yeah thats what I was thinking about doing. I can take off the arm and the mirror, and buy some OE baseplates so I can use the stock rubber seal they use so it wont leak.

And yeah it leaks when I was it, but I haven't since I've gotten the mirrors, because its been raining every day lol.

So heres what I did today..I need to get rear discs, but figured I'd throw these on since rear drums are easy as sin to do:
Old ones: Image Comparison: ARP vs. stock Image Dont have two wooden blocks, or a vice? Use an old wheel! Shit worked perfect for me. Image Image And the finished product: Image Image Image Image Rears done...onto the fronts:
