I also must suggest NOT doing this if you have manual mirrors. pain in the ass. first you have to remove the window crank. thats a bitch. then you need to remove the door panel. the you have to pop the piece that adjusts the drivers mirror out and pull the adjuster out so you can put the new one in. the putting in part isnt so hard. but pulling that fucker apart without breaking it is like hell itself. other than that its just a matter of taking some bolts out. and you dont need an assistant to hold the mirror.. honestly how hard is it to hold it in place and screw the bolts on with the other hand? :]

it wasn't very hard to do the most pain in the ass part was getting the bracket and disconnecting the old and plugging in the new. But it looks good!

If you have the option of having a hott assistant do anything... your saying you wouldn't?! i don't know about you man....

[adam337]

would you make the hot assistant stand out in the cold garage holding a mirror jeapordizing your chances of getting laid?

[cherrington17]

Wouldn't for me... might help the chances, cuz i'm showing her how to work on a car..to which shes interested in. :)
