Hell, I didn't even know the heated mirrors weren't even hooked up until I broke my passenger side mirror and replaced it with one that has the wires from the heater grid going into the door. The base model mirror has the heater grid on the glass, and the wiring in the door, but no wiring from the door to the mirror.
I think the blacked out tops with tinted windows makes these cars look so much better.

Just a standard 99 Coupe. I did the vinyl wrap on the roof and halo in 2010.....love how it changed the look of the car.

Well, let's see. I wanted a '10 GS, a new home, a new garage, so one of the toys had to go. I'm back into the display though, have a trailer this time to show.

Couldn't have just 1 of your children instead?? Seriously, I get it, life happens. The wife bipped in my ear for years when I sold the '98 Pace car 6 speed I bought for her new, right up until I surprised with the identical car for her last birthday, last year.
