Material list:
$20 Black or tinted epoxy/resin (especially if you don't have a grey or black mirror)
$80 A couple of yards of 2 x 2 twill 240g to 300g (I think 200 is to thin that great for flat surface but trying to shape it its to fragile)
$35 Resin (took about 150 grams on 1st coat, then 60 grams on the next 3) 16oz will be close
$5 to $20 4 or 5 Good quality brushes that don't leave hairs even foam brushes work
$5 masking tape
$35 Heat gun
$30 dremel small round sanding disc (for lip of mirrors where it folds.
$80 3 inch air grinder 120 pad (I used this over the dremel cutting the extra length off where it mates to car
$35 5 inch electric polisher sander 240 to 800 grit
$25 2k UV clear coat with the hardener that you puncher in bottom of can
Do not use the 3M 77 adhesive it's perfect for some flat parts you want to skin but i found that on contours the resin gets it wet and it will lift the carbon causing a high spot. When you go to sand you will burn right through the carbon.
I'll try to get them on by the end of the weekend and update!

That's a nice touch... Was it hard to remove the mirrors?
I want to get mine painted gloss black
