When you are done with yours, come on out to the west coast. You can burn out that extra energy on my boat.

Seriously, oustanding!

The alum would never keep the shine, Also it would never be like a real mirror.Ive never thried clear but allways heard it doesent work,

A peice of .060 polished stainless would work,My firewall in the Chevelle has a sheet over it,thinking it would be real expensive for the boat,you would have to buy 2 sheets to make 2 mirrors.

I am thinking about 3M super 2 sided tape ,it seems real strong!!! not shure about how it would hold in the heat of the summer, thats what i used on the side mirrors, I tried pulling on it pretty hard ,it felt like it would break the mirror before releasing.

there has to be abetter way

Thanks Guys on the comps>

Ive never done a stock bravo,the one i have now is a B max,the merc should be alot easyier,I sanding mine trying to thin it up, take out all the waves and casting dips, grinding marks,they come real ruff!!! I started out with 36b and a belt sander,100,180,320 ,alittle 400,500,I still had some sanding marks,figured it would turn grey in about 2 -3 times in the water,when ya get started take some pics and let us know how it does,The smooth as you can get it the more mirror shine and make it easy to polish
