That is really one of the most creative efforts I have seen in a while..
Takes some skill to do that kind of thing.

Today the mirrors are laminated, see pics below

After this the mirrors are sanded smooth. Depending on the strength they get another layer with glassfiber. As a finishing touch they get a black color with protection against uv light.

The used material for the outer layer is glassfiber and epoxy. This is the cheaper version of carbon.

The inside is just foam with a fine structure so you can make really nice shapes

Thank you all for the positive reactions ! Cool

Today i've got rid of all the rough surface by sanding the mirrors. They are all smooth now Smile. I also made the connections to the door (litte white things).

What is left to do:
Make them fit perfect on to the doors
Another layer of epoxy and some glasfiber.
sanding them again to make them super smooth

An then hopefully the finishing protective black layer
Mounting them on the car..... but that is if everything goes as planned haha Respect!
