yea, mine does. You mentioned red paint on the manifold in my plenum post, do you have a pic of that. I am debating how to detail the engine compartment and that intrigued me.
sorry i am still tring to figger out how to up-load my photos from my dig. camera....just clean the manifold really wel. paint thinner...then put on red wrinkle paint,, will coast you only 3-4 dollors..you will like the effect..look at the newer ferraris there intake manifolds are painted with red wrinkle paint..
.. i also did my cam covers to match..looks cool..my co-workes( i sell cars) and my freinds think it looks great.:)
Does this paint come in a high heat version, or is this necessary. I saw some in O'reillys today, but it was not high temp.
..no i just bought a rattle can of wrinkle paint..reg. temp i guess..1 st coat full cover but light.. 2 nd coat mosit sort of heavy.. this will wrinkle..just follow the instrutions..( yea.. like a guy will read the instuctions:):):):) )
lol....."instructions".......just another mans opinion
the mirror is held on with a snap, I tightned mine up after removing the mirror for cleaning, it was loose. just a little bit of bending with a pair of needle nose pliers.

My mirrors dance around like a LOT as well.

My mirrors did that until I rebuilt the front brake calipers. They didn't feel like they were grabbing but at 60 mph, I was getting a vibration. Since that fix, the car runs great and no shake in the rear view mirror.
If your getting s light vibration at speed, that might be the problem.
