Car is at the body shop... PAINT MIRRORS & DOOR HANDLES YES / NO?

Car is at the body shop, getting the rear quarter panels replaced due to canadas Honda cancer that eats away at the rear quarterpanels.

I cant decide wether or not to paint the mirrors and door handles??

paint it ALL!!!

no cheap plastic parts

in all honesty, i think cars look cleaner with matched parts, with the exception of a few CF on certain cars...

I'd say if you paint the handles and the mirrors, awesome. Are you going to paint the moldings? If you do, you should paint the side skirts, too (looks best IMO)
