Hi. I recently bought the spoon style mirrors. Should I paint it to match my car or paint them black. I had to sand them down because they had bumps on them.

 

Um, appearance/cosmetic would be a better place to pose this question, but also, what color is your car anyway? That may influence the color coordination.

 

its in the process of painting to yellow.

 

What about the weatherstripping and side moldings? Will they remain the OEM plastic color? If so, I may recommend from a color coordination standpoint that you either leave them unpainted black, or just paint the mirror housings and leave the mirror bases unpainted. Either way, a little variation in color is good for any car in my book.

 

thanks man. thats what i was leaning towards.... leaving the base black to somewhat match with my sir lip and painting the housing yellow.

 

Black bases and painted bodies is what I did:

Damn those look good!
Did you repaint them yourself? And your sideskirts?

 

I had them professionally painted.

I did my mirrors, sideskirts, rear bumper (needed it bad), rear plate garnish, and CTR wing.

 

look tite man. i'm gonna do the same.

my car is going to look like yours except its gonna be yellow with painted side moldings since the original was painted and the side skirts are gonna be black to match my black housing headlights and front sir lip.
