Got my new grill installed today... Good to see the sponsors still around after so long.
CustomCarGrills.com.

I have to replace the side mirror and it is mint condition.

Nice! I just bought the same kind. How'd you get rid of the black epoxy just heat it up? Also do you have anything behind the mesh to keep water out?

InYes... I took out the rusted old plates by heat and scraping as best i could... Two screws with torque heads on each side.
I had the openings open for about a week before i sandblasted and painted the plates a metallic black then clear coat. I replaced the old rusty screws with new also. Check out the after pics.

Thanks!
