What did you do to your Mirage today?

[Mechanic]

Hello all,
. . . . I know that it is illegal to drive a vehicle with no left hand rear view mirror in every state.
GOD Bless and Thanks,
rich!

I ordered some orange vinyl from Aliexpress, and wanted to wrap the silver part around the switch panels, just to get some color in the car.
I tried wrapping them while the switch panels were on the steering wheel, sounds good, doesn't work.
Eventually I found tytotheler92s post about adding cruise control to his car, but it explained exactly how to take the steering wheel apart so I could wrap them out of the car. So I took apart the steering wheel last night, disconnected the battery first since I didn't feel confortable hitting it with a screwdriver for the airbag to come out(I tried getting the switch panels out without removing the airbag, but it just wouldn't work (and my neighbours probably aren't happy since my horn went of a couple of times).
Then I spent an hour or two wrapping (first time doing it ever) and I am really happy with the result!

7Miles,
. . . I like the wheels. Where did you get them and how much did they cost?
GOD Bless and Thanks,
rich!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Of course I was just funnin' about them being 5 lug wheels. I figured someone would call me out on it.

I got them from Summit Racing. Been buying lots of stuff from Summit Racing for my 1972 Plymouth Scamp.

They were $40.99 for all four! They're just wheel covers of course.

Looks great. Thanks for sharing your results.

Does Summit carry trim rings?

Sweet! I don't do vinyl wraps lol... If I do something I'll probably paint it... Looks really good and brightens up the interior really well if I get around to it I'll probably do that sometime in the near future and take off the trim pieces and paint them.

Nothing cheap that’s for sure.

Is it basically like wheel covers but it only covers the outside of the rim?

"Beauty Rings", they were very common prior to the 90's before everything went to either full plastic wheel covers or alloy wheels. They're not cheap because if they're worth having, they're made of either stainless steel, or chromed steel.

They were even standard on my early 90's S10.

My wife ordered and installed this the other day
