Mirror Inserts

Has anyone installed a set of side mirror inserts? There are two types on eBay...one is the upper half and the other is the full cover.

I was going to get a set from a guy in eBay, but when I asked him if he guaranteed color match and fit...he said no.

How do they look from the mirror side. Is there a gap? They look good from the front.

You just have to take your time installing them. Cut a one of the peices of tape in 1/2 and put them on the sides. There is no gap, if you install them properly.

I'm sure it would add something considering it's a smoother surface (.0000000000001 HP). So you see, it's not only an appearance upgrade, but also a performance upgrade. Just like the hood scoop. Let me explain: My car has a hood scoop and it gives me the impression that it is a mean fast machine...therefore, it changes my driving mood and my foot presses more on the gas...therefore, provides me with more HP
