Posted By: RawBurt Got the Mirko on - 05/30/06 11:34 AM
Only one pic for right now... But I'll take more for sure. I painted it myself and am decently satisfied with the turnout. I've scraped it a minimum of 10 times already during daily driving, oh well.

Wow, that looks really good Robert! Don't worry if the paint doesn't look as good as the rest of the body. You'll realize that it's so low to the ground, that your eyes don't go directly towards it. Looks great!

if your car wasn't so low, you probably wouldn't have these issues... eh scrape-meister?

No shizza! I dont understand why you'd have a mirko on a daily driver that low. I was reviewing my footage from SZ the other day. I love it when we all arrive first day, and as you pull in you scrape the [censored] outta the mirko. Everyone, "OHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

No rock chips yet with quite a bit of highway driving. So maybe my DIY paint job actually worked!?

Correction, You just have to find ways around those entrances. There's an awesome Chinese restaurant I go to, where I just park next door because of the huge step into the parking lot. I could make it IN by turning the wheel and letting the tire pull me up, but I'd have to back out of the parking lot to get back OUT. Just pull up to parallel to the incline, turn the wheel full clock, and let the tire pull the car up over the hump. It's easy.

Speed bumps are a different story.

If I had a Mirko on my csvt and hear everyone complaning about scraping. I would shave off about 3/4 inch of the front edge lip from scrap happening. This would definately solve the scraping problem for good.

Take driveways like those at a shallow angle of approach.

You know, I've actually been thinking pretty hard on some new seats. Dont know if I can justify the price though...

Ummm, you BACK OUT of the driveway, and turn the wheel FULL CLOCK so you take the SAME ANGLE when you go OUT of your driveway, ad you took IN to your driveway. SIMPLE!

AND YES, I'M YELLING AT YOU!!

Now you just need to put a bin or basket on the front to catch the roadkill. Then contact your state's roads department and maybe they'll give you a kickback for helping them out.

Seriously though it looks fantastic. Every time I see a CSVT with a Mirko on it I get the urge to buy one as the bottom of my car's front bumper is already scraped up as-is (from the previous owner). At least the Mirko would cover it up and look good in the process.
