painted mirrors

Anybody know where to get painted mirrors, not the inserts but whole piece? Been Looking but dunno. I was also wondering if the chrome mirrors wrap all the way around the bottom. The problem I have is the bottom of the passenger mirror is cracked due to a buggy at W-mart . Any info would be helpful!

Most people get thier mirrors sanded and painted at a body shop.
I am sure since you are getting them painted the could a very patch and paint job.

Another option is for you to check ebay......
There is always a side view mirror for sale cheap.

I haven't seen anyone offering painted mirrors. I just took mine off, sanded them and took them to a body shop along with the CDC spoiler and the lower grille. The body shoppe also welded the antenna hole and painted the antenna area. It wasn't that expensive to do. Just slightly more then the mirror covers that others are selling.

not at all, he welded the holes and ground them down. It is as smooth as the other side. The color match was perfect. You can't tell there was ever an antenna there.

Obvious question, asked obviously...where did you put the antenna, did you use an adhesive windshield antenna? Or another option. Oh, and she looks awesome BTW!!!

check my blog as well for antenna delete information. I placed a hidden motorcycle antenna under the dash. Reception is fairly good but not as good as an external antenna.

As for mirrors, I also have not seen anyone selling them already painted. Just remove your mirrors and drop them off at a body shop to have them painted.
