Hey guys, I wanted to make some spot mirrors for my rigs and tried a few things but.......I don't know......they just don't look right. How do you guys do it?

I have not done it yet but I was going to make some using the chrome hub covers that come with the KW cabover or White-Freightliner kits. The ones that are chromed and are smooth with the right bevel to them. They should look pretty cool. There is also a tutorial on this site or another where some one used thumb tacks polished up. Check the how to section.

I have used the hub covers in the past. They work pretty good. I have never thought about using thumb tacks.

Now the paper hole punch thing sounds good. Haven't thought of that. The hub caps that I'm thinking of, maybe too big huh? Thanks for the suggestions guys.
