Re: #10
Tim,
The mirror glass pops out just like on the old-style mirrors but they are a pain in the ass...I did the inserts on my '06+ mirrors with rubberized plastic (can't remember the brand now but several people have used it on their mirror inserts here if you search) and they came out fine. Scuffed with 400 grit, used an etching primer as the inserts are chromed plastic, amazingly enough, and then three coats of the 'paint'. It's held up fine now for two years (just about the time I got your LE brushguard)...
I also bought new emblems and had them painted at the same time I had a quarter resprayed when someone keyed it. They're just the 'standard' H2 emblems (again chromed plastic) and were like $15 each.
Who do you plan on using in town for the powdercoat work? I've used Blast-Tech for stripping and prepping and they send their stuff to Taint Paint in CO Springs...the stuff I had done by them (hood handles, SMA vents and hood latches) has taken on a funky blue tint in direct sunlight, so I'm having everything done by Foothills Powdercoating now. I'd like to know if you know of someone else that does good work and what they charge.
Dan
