Anyone else think sideview mirrors would look better being same as body color,and not just black?

(excuse my lame ps skills,but you get the idea)

I'm not sure that I do like the colored mirrows better. The black may blend in a little better against tinted windows (if you get them tinted).

Yeah, much better painted body color. I don't know why Ford is so behind the eight ball on this. I mean, it was available on 1971 Mach 1s for crying out loud.

If I were guessing, I'd say it's another cost-cutting measure.

How about this

I think the ones for the steeda teaser look pretty good, hopefully they will have it as a purchasable item.

I think they look better in body color, but in all practicality, they are more durable being black, although speaking of durability, what the heck is with them not being breakaway?

Birdman3

Not breakaway? I didn't know that cars were still made without breakaway mirrors. No one even lists that as a feature anymore.

This looks like a vette with a coupe front end.

My thought on the mirrors is keep them black. If you had 2 cars driving towards you on the road, 1 with black mirrors and the other painted, the painted ones would stand out like a sore thumb. The black ones tend to fade into the background and all you initially notice is the cars body. I rather be checking out the overall look of a car, not the mirrors.

Body coloured does look better, but they're not that bad when you see them in person.

I like the body colored mirrors. Some of the new Fords have body colored inserts over the top half of the mirrors (like the Freestar below). This looks very nice IMO. The black plastic mirrors look a bit cheap.

Given the style of the mirrors, I like the black better. If the mirrors were more integrated with the body, then I would prefer the painted ones.

I'm with the crowd that favors the all black mirrors, though the half and half look decent. Painted makes them stick out too much.

FYI that pic is a FreeSTYLE. The FreeSTAR is the Minivan. I don't know what Ford was thinking in naming them so similar.

I like the type of Mirrors used on the Freestar, With the Black Support and the Body Colored Caps on top. Like the Steeda pic.

Dan

^ I think that's why Ford didn't go with the inserts. Doesn't look that great IMO. As joe said, if they were integrated better the entire mirror being body coloured would look the best. Half the mirror doesn't look so hot as it draws attention to them (two colour).

The vert mule I followed DID have red side mirrors.
