Go for it. I think it looks nice. If my car wasn't deep forest green, I'd do it.

and do you just take it to a body shop.

I don't think they are painted, even though they are black. That is just the color of the material used on the mirrors. If and when I ever get my car painted, I will get my mirrors painted as well.

I didn't mean anything by it man. Your post was just misleading since you said the mirrors came painted stock when they weren't.

My car is red and I was going to paint them, but i realized they are black stock for a reason heh. IMHO the mirrors dont seem to flow with the rest of the body and if you paint it, it kind of brings it out... hard to explain

heres a picture of my mirrors painted to match my car. I think it flows a lot better with the looks of the car painted to match the body.

i agree they do not flow well with the body of the car and look better painted black. i think the stock color is like semi-flat black.
