I think it looks great.... but the jumbo mirrors detract from what you're trying to do. Hey - I understand we can't do everything at once - you've got a great start!

If all I had to do was replace the mirrors I would be in great shape!

looks great, I would just coat the rocker with por-15 and spray paint it white for now, and call it good

Haha, well I would do that if they existed. I cut them off because there was nothing left of them.
