Default Objects in Mirror......

I was reading a thread where on the poster's noted that "Objects In Mirror Are Loosing" I was thinking about printing up a sticker that improves it a bit.....

WARNING: Objects in mirror getting smaller are loosing!


We have a label maker that prints a nice black letter on gold foil tape. I'll measure the mirror and make up a label sticker and just install it in the right side outer mirror without telling my husband....I just wonder how long it will be before he notices..

At least 7.5, but I haven't figured out if that's going to be SAE net, or at the rear wheels!

Hey Chris, your avatar is great...Like that rear fascia!

There's one that says, "Objects in Mirror Don'T Matter".
You can make one for your rearview mirror too. Good luck

When he does notice, I hope he gets a good chuckle out of it. I think it would be pretty funny.

If you're really gonna make the sticker, it's "losing" (only on 'o').
