Default Slow night on the C5 forum, so here's a link to my summer set up and newly installed S mirrors...

Finally got clear bra installed on the mirrors and got them on the car. Hardest part was finding the appropriate screws for the aluminum mirrors.

So the car is clean, the 4.2 sport wheels are on, and I've added the S mirrors....

Boston Driver has already noted a few things for me to add, so take your best shot and thanks for the help you've all provided me in putting this car together...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/newengland/msgs/31766.phtml">x-post to New England Forum</a></li></ul>

Default How much does a set of sports mirrors run?

They look great by the way...

Default Retail/new over $800, used around $300-350, but GBW got the steal of the month...

but the passenger side mirror was scratched badly, and he needed to do some grinding and polishing.

You can find these easily on eBay Germany, just search for "audi spiegel" on www.ebay.de, and find a seller willing to ship to the US.

I've got the RS6/RS4 bruchsed aluminum ones, they are a bit more subtle, especially on a silver car. I love these (and they are harder tofind), but I am starting to like the polished ones more and more...it's all about the bling!

Default Maybe the steal of the year...there was a risk, but it worked out....

as an FYI, the clear bra was free because the tuner missed the completion date 3 times....so the steal continues.

Then there's the guy I ripped off for the 4.2 wheels.....

Default You can do 50% tint film on doors, and ANY darkness on the rear window in CT...

you could push it and go 40% on the sides, but that will bring you dangerously close to the limit, and maybe a tad beyond.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autowindowtintings.com/stateLaws.ihtml?stateLawPage=tintLaws_conn">CT tint limits</a></li></ul>

I don't think it could possibly beat the steal I got on mine :-)
