Months ago I had wrapped the lower exterior mirror trim in gloss black and thought a triangular piece in the proper place might give the mirror some aesthetics and mimic F85 mirrors. However, I decided back then it was too tedious and maybe too much.

This week, as I wait for speaker parts, I accidentally stumbled across a shape that could work. After some testing of the template on the mirror, I decided to wrap them up and evaluate. Not shown are other templates I had to make to be able to mirror the location (positionaly) on the opposite mirror (template below is for both L and R mirrors). It definitely required some patience with trial and error.

Here are some pix since I haven't posted anything in a while...
