When i bought the car the passenger mirror was cracked in half like someone backed into a garage and hit the mirror. So it also swivels and won't hold still. So i made an offer on one used mirror shell i saw on eBay. It was green. I believe he wanted $70 but had the "make an offer" button on it so i offered $30, the we settled on like $40 with shipping. So i removed mine from the outside of the car being careful not to scratch the paint with tape on the car and a right angle phillips.
Replacement used Green Shell
Sand, 2 prime coats, 3 base black onyx, 3 coats clear
Needs some Wet Sanding and Buffing / Polishing
1000, then 2000 grit wet sand then - Ultimate Compound Meguiars with the Griot Orbital works wonders
Much better! good reflection
Glossy now

Get your old rusty dirty tips looking new again!
After i hit them with Bronze Wool and Billet Polish removed most of the discoloration and polluted grime.
Then pull out the Good Stuff. "Wenol" is a secret sauce used by the Old Schoolers. Used it on my classic and it can pull these things back to life. Check it out
Tips back on the car and Mufflers Deleted.
