For about 20 bucks more you can get them painted in the center indented section. I don't like the plastic look the stock mirror comes like, but I def don't like the xenon 3m tape mirrored covers. The little indented section is the best way to go by far!!! Plus you don't have the weird looking design on the mirror as if you would if you bought those.

He means the little groove on each mirror in the front, to give them a two tone look. I plan on color matching those areas myself when I get a set of louvers

Well, that's kind of a trick question because I have a freind that works at a body shop that did the paint on them. So technically the paint cost me a 12 pack that I drank about half of. Install is a little tricky. Kind of hard to remove the backing on the tape they way they describe doing it. But overall it is pretty simple.

I might have to go that route. The shop painting my body kit refuses to paint the mirrors. Due to the texture he said I'd be back about every 6 months wanting to get them repainted.

Thanks

Radio reception is fine. No complaints. Although I must admit I listen to satellite more than anything else.
