That's pretty awesome. I actually thought about doing the same. I think the red white and blue proper colored flag would be really awesome on there, but I feel like I'd want it done in a very professional looking manner.. maybe a project for a quiet Saturday with a paintbrush..

Paintbrush??? I was thinking some rattle cans and some tape.

That's ridiculously bright for a turn signal

There is no chance anyone can say that they didn't see your signal now!

Ok @Tredsdert, I bought these mirrors and installed them, cranking them down like you suggested. They seem pretty solid.

However, when I noticed the flag on the back, I decided that it should be highlighted. So the mirrors were taken apart, and painted. The back of the mirrors were painted white to shine through the holes/slots in the metal stamping.

Here is the finished product. It might have to be touched up or changed a little, but I think it turned out pretty good.

28 - nope, 23 - stars and 17 stripes. Must have slipped past quality control at the otherwise meticulous ticklepandafunfun factory.

Hey! I only saw 23 stars. Is that the numbers of blue states or the red states in this country?

Touché! Maybe it's just enough stars for the good ones.

Nice job!

Trimmed up my exhaust pipe this morning, no more rattling now!

I was going to do it last night, but I figured 8 p.m. on a Sunday isn't really fair to my neighbors to be running the angle grinder. 8 a.m. on a Monday is a different story.

I'm taking a page from the book of @Ratbert and painting my fuel filter skid plate.

I was going to go with gold, but I've been wanting to get rid of this red paint can for a minute now. I've had it for about 3 years.

I rather hear the grinder at 8pm than 8 am.
No one is sleeping at 8 pm, what's a matter with you?

I will say there are a couple of retired people on my block, however they're all blue collar people, so they wake up at like 5:00 a.m. everyday.

If you're still sleeping at 8:00 a.m. on a monday, you need to put down the joint and get your life together!

Why in the world would I get up at 8 am on a Monday? I'm retired!

Retired blue collar workers get up at 5 am. I don't think so.

Here's a demonstration of a retiree at 8 am to the sound of a grinder.

My dad spent 50 years waking up at 3:30 in the morning, now he's been retired for the last 10 years and he still wakes up at 5:00 a.m. everyday. He says he can't sleep past 6:00. Wakes up on autopilot.

I get that, my alarm goes off every morning at 4:00 a.m. on my days off I autopilot wake up at 6:00 a.m.

I guess it depends what kind of job you had before you retired. I mean my brother works a typical 9 to 5:00. Wakes up at 8:00 a.m., works from home, clocks out at 5:00, I'm sure on the weekends he'll sleep till 10:00.

In a few instances where I've slept past 9:00 a.m., when I woke up I've felt like I wasted my whole day before it even started.

Yeah, that makes sense. I've worked 2nd shift my entire life, so I still sleep in.

It's got a really nice shine to it. That gloss came out really well. Not sure how long it's going to last...

Should match well with my factory Rubicon shocks and my ARB differential covers when I get those on!

I used stickers on mine thinking I was cool. They all tore off first time out! Good luck.

At least the paint will leave a witness mark on what you run so you'll know the trail better each time.

I might like to get something like that, where did you get that from, did it bolt right on or you had to drill & tap?

Hell yeah I'm still sleeping at 8am on Mondays. Unfortunately I have an 8:15 alarm set to make sure I get the garbage out those days. Otherwise I wake up whenever as long as I'm up in time for our first meetings at about 10. Working from home implies that pants are optional.

Just don't stand up during Zoom meetings, John.
