Question Mirror covers

Has anyone purchased or installed the painted mirror covers sold by hubcapsplus.com? They look a lot more finished and complete than some of the other covers I've seen (at least online).

Spam?

Did not see a link on their site for the covers, only hubcaps.

I did NOT see anything on that site for painted mirror covers. Only hubcaps and center caps.

Sorry Fryguy, Mumeye. I should have said "hubcapsplus.com" aka "wheelskin.com." Lyp, Ford4me...are the covers easy to install? Good color match? Worth the money? I'd considered the Agent 47's but I'd hate to mess with the Ford warranty on a new car. Kinda spendy too. I'd also heard you lose quite a bit of rear visibility on the convertible by switching to the smaller mirrors. Thanks for the pic, Ford4me.

Got the covers last week. Good color match but on close inspection some paint was missing along a crease on the right cover. Still a big visual improvement. Easy install. And they don't rattle....[yet].

Is it a better look than going ahead and painting both mirror assemblies? Probably not. Is it cheaper? Yeah.
