After seeing a couple of the other pics of mirrors with the gloss base, that is the route I will be going. As far as the mirror, Not sure. Prolly gloss black also.

Front - djm 3.5 lca's, belltech drop struts. Cut down the tie rod and put more threads on. Notch the lower crossmember. The front I still have alot of bumpsteer that I am currently working on.

Rear - notch the rear. 6" flip and 2" shackle.
