$60-$65 is very reasonable considering your other options. I'm in for a set in black, and another set in white... Now let's get this GB started!

Certainly all exterior mods are a matter of taste, but I like having an "insert" more than a "cover". The mirrors are so big that painting or covering the whole thing with a painted piece wouldn't do as much visually as these do. It's like how the GT500 has flat black rocker panels and rear diffuser to remove visual weight from the car--these do the same thing.

Well I hate to think that most of my car is put together with two sided sticky tape but I would buy a set painted for $60.00, less on the group buy discount!

Don't quote me on the $60 figure--I don't work for MAG.

I'm in for a pair....Screaming Yellow, please. You can get a good idea of what they will look like by checking out the Steeda Q (sorry, no link).

[*]They are painted with the factory colors and are not adjacent to the other painted panels on the car, so even a slight difference in color won't be noticable.[/list]
They are also at a completely different angle than any adjacent panel... making a slight color difference even less noticeable.

Having covers would be hard to do... and would most likely make the mirrors even bigger. Even if it's just a fraction of an inch... the stock mirrors are already too big IMO. I want someone to come out with a side mirror delete, as in some glass or black plastic triangular pieces to put where the stock mirrors are at the bottom/front of the door glass. Then, I could get those bullet "rotunda" style chrome mirrors from the old Shelbys and mount them up at the top of the doors.

It would be easy to do... some company just take off the stock mirrors and use the trainagular base that mounts to the door as a template and make a flat piece to fit in it's place. Glass would be cool, but plastic would work.

I was thinking $60-65/set. Having them pre-painted is a huge convenience.

If this is the price, count me in.. What about shipping?

Windveil Blue of course..
