Adam has competition in the Ultimate Unboxing Photog category 
mk2tmr2's build
16
Some of you guys may have seen my non-roadster build thread stating that I was going to convert my daily driver (2003 Lex GS300) into a toy by way of swapping in a JDM Aristo 2JZ-GTE, single turbo, 500whp, suspension, etc.
Scrap that.
I just put a deposit down to hold my next project and it is another roadster. And I won't be starting from scratch on this one. It's already a spectacular example and what's been done has been done right. I'll be taking it, babying it and putting my spin on it.
It will be phat.
That is all. (for now)

Congrats sir.
Haven't actually driven with them yet. But sitting in the car and adjusting them I could tell already that these mirrors are more for form than function. The passenger side mirror is partially obstructed by the small divider between the triangle window and the main passenger side window. They are small and as far as I can tell have no convex shape so they don't give the best visibility.
Maybe my observations of this will change once I actually hit the street with them.
Honestly, though...I couldn't care less. They look killer on the car
Sorry about the slow pics. Have had some hiccups lately but I'm back in full swing. I got 3/4 XIDAs upgraded with the additional spacer bushings today. The last one will go on tomorrow night. The car will be back on the ground and ready for its alignment. I am planning on doing that Tuesday or Wednesday. The M2 1028 steering wheel will go in on the weekend and then...only then...will I take some pics.
I gotta tell you - this 105 degree temperature doesn't do much to encourage one to work on his car. My T-shirt weighed about 10lbs when I took it off this afternoon. It was all I could do to keep the sweat out of my eyes. Not fun. I think I would have the car back on the ground right now if I wasn't working in a sauna today.
Mount them on the fender

The closer I get to having kids of my own, the more beautiful I find those moments, Steve.
Congratulations to you and your now expanded family
