I used sand paper for my side mirror plates. No matter your method, you have to be very straight or it won't look right. Experiment with different grits to get the look you want.

Looking sick man. I think you just sold me on the crazy gas cap and hard lines for the bags.

Great ideas man.

**67cheby** · 12-31-2011, 02:43 PM

Eric, what grit did you use on your mirror bases ?

A mix of 80 up to 400. Page 10 of my build shows the process up close.

Valhalla · 12-31-2011, 03:49 PM

me and my father did this years ago on a bumper to get that subdued look.. It turned out sweeet but OMG talk about time consuming. we used a light steal wool then a sandpaper that would barely sand anything dang near wet sanding level. Take your time and use the longest motions in the same direction otherwise you will get a terrible pattern.

Did I miss what color you picked? I guess I wasn't paying attention in class again. Looks awsome. Have a happy and safe new year.

I just put my Grand Cherokee fan in last week...fits GREAT and looks like it was meant for it.

Is the outside plastic or glass on the lights? I just did the relay upgrade and bought stock Silver Lights for my blazer.

**67cheby** · 01-03-2012, 03:05 PM

yes that is correct, and over on the 73 up side someone put these lights in his truck !

**67cheby** · 01-03-2012, 04:11 PM
