I used this nifty little piece from Dark Water Customs with the FFR mirror:

another question please. How did you get that effect in the engine bay aluminum? I made the HUGE mistake of marking up my panels with a sharpy. Now I have "this side up" and driver side interior panel #2" marked all over my panels.

need to cover that up

That is a technique called engine turning. It is done using a circular wire wheel or sanding disk on a drill press or mill. There are a number of good how to videos on YouTube.

Rome,

If you just want to remove the writing, just put a little acetone or brake cleaner on a rag and wipe off the Sharpie ink. It'll come right off.
