Default Paint them or not to paint them???

I came up on these Ganador side veiw mirrors but, its not real carbon fiber. Its like that fake cheezy carbon fiber the R's have in the interior.

So I can't make up my mind to paint them Yellow, Black or just leave them alone.

Take a look http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4289618909

It will be going on a P.Y. Integra R.

Thanks.

IMO, I like the look of the stock-fold-able side mirror.

C-West front.

Advan makes tires and some rims as well (probably farmed out with their name on it).

paint them to match the color of your car. Only reason I would ever suggest not painting them is if the car they were going on originially had unpaitned mirrors and you wanted the car to have that same appearance with the new mirrors. But yeah, definately paint them
