So ghetto, but works perfectly :)

Some of us suffer from the rear view mirror getting all kinds of out of whack from the bass. I managed to get around that problem with some scrap wood/jig saw, silicone, a single ziptie, and duct tape......

made a sloppy little T shaped brace out of the wood and zip tied it tightly to the arm of the mirror. Then using 2 small pieces of wood and a balls load of silicone i glue the mirror into place. After being tested and passing flawlessly, i did a layer of dark grey duct tape around the outside. The silicone i think is absorbing a bit of the shock because it i can see fairly clearly through the mirror on even the more violent bass notes.

the backside of the mirror has some duct tape adhesive goop solidified onto it from a previous attempt at fixing the problem a few months back. eventually i may also go with a black colored duct tape for the outer layer or do something else creative. for the time being I'm content

Everything said and done, absolutely amazing











i think it looks pretty good considering the production. discuss

i agree completely. but there's plenty of people here who'll wet themselves if duct tape is part of the final cosmetics.

i took my time to make the duct tape look semi decent.

edit:

wet themselves in a negative way.

recently got myself a set of black glossy rims and some tint. the cobalt looks sharp now. sometime this week when i have time I'm gonna clean it up and take a few pictures to show the before and after. got me a set decent *** looking black 15'' rims all for $150 that fit my standard tires. more to come on that in a later thread

so far 2 votes of not being in favor.

my problem is that it wont stay ON THE WINDOW! lolz

locktite wont hold it, so i know duct tape has no chance. BTW, why not just jb weld the hinge points? or epoxy?
