Default Oops, I did it...

Couldn't resist the peer pressure. It was too much. So I ended up ordering some factory paint and now my mirrors are orange too. Thanks Rennlist

To be honest though, it looks much better this way

Somehow, you'll have a never-ending supply source for turn signal lenses!

Finally, they go perfectly with the car!

Your rear indicators (turn signals to you?) don't look orange enough to me

Notwithstanding - looks stunning

that should give any thrill-seeking turkeys a clearer advantage.

Haven't thought about that actually. I've never named my cars, my wife would think I've totally lost it since I spend so much time in the garage anyway...

Somehow, you'll have a never-ending supply source for turn signal lenses!
That's so funny! You're right of course but I'm really hoping that it won't be necessary (knock on wood)

How did you apply it?
Spray paint and patience. Thin coats, more thin coats, thick coat. It turned out alright, considering how the rest of the car looks all busted.

that should give any thrill-seeking turkeys a clearer advantage
Hahaha! Don't they look like chicken wings? Maybe those thrill seekers will think I'm about to take off!

Looks great, but I thought you were selling this car?
Almost had it sold too, but got some sense beaten into me and realized there's no way I can come close to anything resembling this car. Mechanically or otherwise. So I'm keeping it unless something unpredictable happens...

....And orange door handles, and orange tail......
Steve, don't make me come down to Texas and find you! All these ideas about more orange bits are driving me nuts! I already thought of orange headlamp rings, good thing I thought about it after I was done painting, because I would've probably done it!
