Paint the Mirrors or not ... that is the question ...

[99CougarNy]

So my car is officially goin in the shop tomorrow (Monday) and i havn't decides whether or not i want to paint the mirrors ... Car won't be done for a few weeks so i'm not that worried about getting my body shop an answer ... but i dunno which look i like better ... i think i might actually like leaving it black and tinting the windows ...

paint the mirrors or no?

My preference would be to paint the side view mirrors black. The lines of the window trim would appear to be complete with the black color. Also, if the window tint is on the dark side, I would also paint the mirror caps black too.

I was actually thinking of doing that ... painting the vinyl black and then keeping the cap red ... I think by painting the vinyl black it might make it look a little cleaner, i think if i paint it red it might blend the mirrors to much and make the window trim incomplete

paint the whole mirror. imo

get the CF mirror covers, I think that would top it off, then paint the undersides black :)

I decided what i'm going to do ... i'm going to paint the vinyl as well as the rubber crap going around the doors/windows on the exterior gloss black and keep the mirrors looking how they do now except that all the black u see on the exterior of my car will all be the same exact color and look ... =)
