maxedout97maxima · Oct 25th, 2003, 03:26 PM

I decided to go back to my RED/CLEARS I found a local Maxima owner and we traded my Altezzas even for his stock tails. Plus my Altezzas started getting condensation in them....

I also finished my Carbon Fiber Yamaha R1 Street Bike mirrors.

And my Yamaha Street bike gas cap molded to my gas door.

Much better tails.
The mirror idea is cool. Its actually somewhat original.
Got a writeup on how to do it?

I'm trying to figure out what you did form the pics.
How did you get the mirror to attach to the junk yard puece. It looks like you have some sort of plate between the mirror and the junk yard sail panel.
Did you use a nut to hold the mirror to that plate?
