Nice job on the eyelids, that thing looks pissed off.

you dont have to, but i had them apart anyways to paint the housing black (used to be all chrome inside). You'll probably need at least 2-3 good coats of color, not to mention the clear, so if you dont paint it on the inside, you'll have 4-6 layers of paint on the ouside of the lens, which makes quite a lip. So no, you dont have to, but to do it right you really should.

Glad your weather is making a turn for the best. I was TDY @ WhyNot back in the 90's during Feb and it was %$@#^& cold!!!
My wife asks why I drive with the mirrors out when I'm not towing...I tell her cuz it looks tuff! She laughs and reminds me that I'm 37 not 17. I remind her who pays the mortgage and her Jeep payment, then she reminds me who I go to bed with.

Why use VHT???? it is designed to let light through! one coat of reg black will do the same as 5 or 6 coats of VHT. seams silly to me but guess you can do what you want.

well folks, heres an update:

just got some bad news today in the form of a letter. My big unveiling will be delayed until further notice due to the IRS being a bunch of facktards. Long story short, I'm gettin semi-audited. It'll be a minimum 45-60 days before I have any chance of my huge refund coming.

So for now, tow mirrors is all you're gonna get. Stay tuned...
