Attach easily with good quality 3M double-sided tape. Most any glass shop in your area will cut to your dimensions. DO NOT scratch the back side of the plexi when installing, it will show as a scratch when installed.

nice

Did the hatches and sides myself, Fountain name/logo are a dark gray metallic decal. Looks like the mirrorplex is ecthed from a few feet away, especially with the lights on.

Side mirrors are great for checking engines over at start-up, can see both sides and bottoms of each engine from above.

3M tape is all you used? You never had a problem with it coming loose?

Where did you get the mirrors with Fountain etched in them? Very nicely done.

I second this, the heat from the motors don't loosen the tape up?

Rebel_Heart, he said they were a decal just a couple post up.
I agree, they look great!
