peek mirror

put on a peek mirror. next up shaving the doorhandles. cant decide whether to ditch to chrome trim on the sides or not? I definetely am trashing the trim that is on it now because its pop rivited and screwed on. Probably will paint it see how it looks and then decide whether to buy new trim or not.




and yes I KNOW that antenna is butt-ugly I need to buy a new windshield with antenna wire not CUT and then i will ditch it

Re: peek mirror

The truck is coming along real nicely. How is visability around the window visor?

Re: peek mirror

They look cool, but are totally useless.

If you want to get rid of the external antenna just lay it long ways under the dash. It will receive pretty well and look so much better.
