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

Alright guys, quick update! I've gotten my Mercedes turn signal light mirrors installed. My brother in law didn't make them look like a punching glove (so round and bulky) and he even kept the body line on the mirror itself. I haven't wired the powerfolding portion of it yet but that is next. I also have to say that the JDM toyota blue rain glass is great! I can see so much on the driver side with it not being magnified. I also like the little touch of the passenger side not having the whole "objects in mirror blah blah blah" I'll get some pictures hopefully tomorrow!

Total cost of mirrors
JDM Powerfolding Mirrors $250 (Birthday present from my wife!)
JDM Toyota Blue Rain Glass $150
Mercedes Turn Signals $110
Brother in law labor $~100

A whopping $610! Man the price I pay to be different.... But it's all worth it!!!

I also added the Tein hood dampners. I had them painted TCM with the mirrors. This mod makes the engine bay look so much cleaner, it's a must for show goers.

Ok well for one that is NOT a Fabulous kit nor did I ever own one. I love that kit but man there are tooo many knock offs. I have the Authentic Spirits Avantegarde kit. About the Tein hood dampners, My body guy taped them off and painted them the same time as the mirrors. The stickers had some overspray on them but the paint didn't want to stick to the plastic so I just scraped it off and it looks perfect! About the DOD stickers, I'm stationed here at NAS Jacksonville.
