For $60, I'll put the chrome covers on my door handles.. Mirrors look better black on any color truck to me.

I remember when the Mystic colored Cobra's came out, that paint was over $1000 a pint!!!!

Hell, they'll last longer than your original paint!

200 bucks is actually a great price for quality work.

BTW you did an awesome job---wish you lived closer.

Yup. It's showy. That's why i didn't want the painted bumpers and such. I want to be able to hit a snowbank and not worry if the ice scratched or cracked my painted bumper. The mirrors, black texture is very forgiving to brush and abrasion. I did however like my Silverado chrome mirro backs. Not stick-ons. factory chrome molded into the plastic. They still had some black texture around the edges.
