Yep. Marcello and I started talking about it after a thread a few months ago and I knew I had to have them. Here's the thread I made last week. To me, the duo-tone is perfect. Painting the whole thing is too much color and leaving them black is too much black (and doesn't make them look much different than stock from afar). The two tone is perfect.

Looks great. The two tone paint makes these mirrors perfect. I liked them on 'Stangs, but after seeing them 1/2 painted, I want them on my Mustang!!

close-ups! You guys are killin' me. lol. I'll try to get some shots tomorrow. It didn't turn out quite as well as I had hoped (not a perfect clean-cut line for sure). It's hardly noticeable until you get up close to it. The molding from the factory has its flaws, as well. The painted part was obviously fixed, but there was nothing to do about the part left black, and I wasn't about to have it re-textured and painted. I'm not going for an all out show car anyway.

As you can see from the pictures (the view most 98% people will see), it looks good I think. But I'll try to get those pictures tomorrow.

The two-tone looks good but I still hate the shape of those mirrors. Maybe when the 2010 gets here......

+ whatever on the half-painted agents. I think you're right about there being "too much color" with the fully painted mirrors; particularly with the brighter colors.

The close-ups!

Mirrors took only a few days to ship. A47 has excellent CS.

Here's some closer pics to show some minor flaws.



This one shows the mold line from the factory (frost just melted, sorry).


I'm more than happy with the outcome! The little flaws don't bother me none.
