I must say, they do look pretty good. And I'm quite happy with the "extra mirror" I get with these then my old ones, gives me more of a view behind me.

Ill have to get a better pic one day, little rough quality pics in the garage, idk why it always doesn't come out as clear as it would if it were outside.

I used to live by a car wash that specifically called out not being responsible for damage to gagt mirrors. I asked the guy and he said the posts are weak and break or something like that.

Looks awesome!

Nice!!!

I personally don't like the GAGT mirrors. If I could though, I would use the mirrors on the could cars. They look a lot better in my opinion.

LOL frickin typo. The cloud cars... You know, the Plymouth Breeze, The Dodge Stratus, The Chrysler Cirrus.

They had a mirror similar to the GAGT mirror. Looked more sporty in real life. I had one of those for a bit. They're cool but the V6 in them sucks because it's a Mitsubishi engine.

Who said you can't go back and get her number? That is a good age :) if she looks that good you can't pass it up... what's the worst thing to happen? She says no and you leave... but... if she says yes, well then... game on!!

Sleepy, if you don't mind me asking, what do you have as a job that you are able to spend so much on these mods all the time?

Were your old "Mickey Mouse" mirrors of the breakaway variety?
That is one thing I don't care for with the GA mirrors, but I can appreciate the larger mirror contributing to better rearward vision.

I wish. I probably don't stand a chance, didn't see if she had a ring on her finger.

Sleepy, if you don't mind me asking, what do you have as a job that you are able to spend so much on these mods all the time?

I hustle!! Jk. I've been working crazy hours working my ass off at a marsh supermarket :lol: I work the night shift. It's sucks but the money is really good. just to let you know, 90% of all my checks go into my car. Right now I'm working on buying ported UIM and LIM new off a member on GAGT. Just preparing for ASS. :)

She a bad bitch. And takes all my money but I love it. Always getting new mods makes me happy and keeps me out of trouble, at least till the parts are installed and I go WOT through town and cops like to follow me or give me dirty looks for testing my new parts out. ;)

The night shift cops don't care at all because they know me and come in to buy lunch at night and I usually chat with em, good guys. It's the day cops I have to look out for haha.

I love my 4 door.

I think it is to each their own but I don't really like the coupes much...I think the sedans look better.

4 dohs mooahhh hoooezzzz

Yet I have no back seats. :lol:

Yup the mickeys were break away's. the mirrors will be done getting painted and ready for pick up in the morning.

I'm keeping my old mirrors just in case something happens to the grand am mirrors, but me being very cautious of the car 24/7 I doubt they will ever break, especially cause I have 136$ in paint in them and another 38$ just to order them.

I totally Agree.... 4 doors just seem more balanced... more proportional to me!

Also, i have noticed people have names for their cars.... i have had mine for 10+ years and all i have ever called it was "The Alero".... i need to come up with something better if i end up going to SAS.

Right now depending on if it has recently been washed or down a mud road or anything like that varies between the ho and the dirty ho, and I often call it my beautiful pain in the ass...I have about 5 names for my truck though, just can't think of anything fitting for my car yet.
