Good color...not a fan of painted mirrors though. Reminds me of a Maaco cheapo paint job.

have you seen any in person? i absolutely agree that some things should not be painted like the wiper cowl but i think the mirrors look much better painted. my .02, they look unfinished when black pebble grain to me.

Yeah seen them plenty of times.... painting the areas that were blacked out trim by the factory reminds me of a quick and dirty, barely masked cheapo paint job. Saw plenty of that crap at the Knotts car show a few weeks ago.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people paint the mirrors and door frames on a fox.

Is this the color? Or is it the lighter, tealish shade? Hard to tell with my crappy screen and your not-so-great pics.
