Default New mods! Now help me pick more!

So I was going to buy everything at once but I couldn't wait. I finally snapped today and bought the chrome door handles. Nobody else was going to be the Guinea pig so what the hell ya know? I think i'm just going to use the actual handle part not the outside piece. I also bought the wood kit to finish off my interior. Again I don't think i'll use all the pieces, just the ones I think should have been there in the first place. Then I picked up a set of Black Chrome emblems, the good ones not the crappy painted ones. I think that since shortly my car will be all black it'll look sleek as hell and allow for my focus on the JDM taillights I can't convince myself to buy ($500 then I have to wait 2 months!?) But soon enough i'll get them i'm sure. As soon as I sell the Tanabe springs for my 1st gen GS i'll buy Tanabe's for the LS. I'm pretty much decided on wheels, that is if D2 can hook a 1st gen gs brother up with a deal

So my question is i’m on the fence about a certain mod and I can’t make up my mind... i’m thinking about LED signal mirrors. Here’s a pic of the exact mirrors:



Now I say they are super VIP. My buddy Dan says especially with the wheels i’m going with that it would make my car look like a wannabe Benz.

What do you guys think?

If I had an LS I'd rock those in a second! Dont worry about the wanna-be benz look unless you have one of those MB-ish grilles on your ride too.

Ya I sent you a PM too, **** has been CRAZY these past few days i've been all over the place so i'm not quite sure if I said in the email that I wanted to go with 19x9 all around or 19x9 19x10 if possible. I want FAT wheels with a streched tire I gotta stay VIP

Jasoneo5 those headlights are for sure custom what I can't figure out is if they used a ES330 projector or a LS430 projector.

I went ahead and bought the mirrors i'm getting my car painted all black in a few days so I might as well get them sprayed up too before I decide I don't want them... and if I don't i'll have black painted LED blinkers for sale

Man Carlsson, your LS is sick!!!! Wanna be just like you when I grow up. LOL!!!! I love the one piece JDM headlight/fog light combination that you have. I think it gives the car a cleaner, and more aggressive look.
Would love to get my hands on a set for my 92 LS. Anyhow, I am just starting to modify my 92 LS (have a long way to go), have added hyperwhite bulbs, JDM clear turn signals, tint and the signal mirrors. I think they really set my car off. Will be better when I have my bodyshop man have them blend more natural and repaint the car, but happy in mean time. Here's a pic.....

Could you give me details where to purchase signal mirrors.

Thanks.

I got mine from EBAY. They are mirror covers and you have to have them painted, and then they mount over top of your current mirrors. The hardest part, if you do them yourself is trying to find out how to run the wire so it doesn't show from the outside. I did mine with the help of a friend and it only took a few hours bucause I really wanted to hide the wires and really wasn't sure what to do. It is just a 2 wire hookup (1 ground, 1 positive) so they don't send any instructions (at least I didn't get any with mine), and they splice into your turn signals. PM me if you want to know the details of what I did to get mine on. I'm sure you can get an aftermarket mirror signal itself, or hybrid some from the Mercedes, but it is more expensive.
