    actuallty not that much.. its more the time to make them. the mirrors are production. and the base is just dremel and drilled from a left over carbon sheet.

    cost to make i'd really have to figure it out... if it was a production piece i think you could get girps for it though

    Paint the vent area behind the hood, get a carbon fiber trunk and you have a carbon fiber racing stripe. ;) j/k Looks good man. Got any more shots?

    ...how dare you post a pic without a scantily clad instructor shown
    assisting the viewers in understanding the total makeover that you have just given your car. Those assistants are essential in identifying the range of benefits modifications can make.

    Shame on you.

    maverickman-

    i was just looking at your site i found this photo. how did you mount your shoulder belts? i already have the seats with the shoulder slots like yours. just wondering how you mounted yours without a 6 point cage to mount to.

    they are mounted to the floor... sparco makes a 72 incher that works will reach all the way to the floor. they come with eye bolts and clip ins to hook them to the floor.

    they do need to be mounted right as well for safety.. if you go to their web site they will tell you right right angle to mount them.

    hope this helps!
