SuGamer..have you seen the chrome mirror covers or the "flamed" covers? Here is just one place that has them. This may be an alternative if you would rather have chrome than black. The 300C's have chrome mirror covers if you want to see something in person because a local cruiser may not have sprung for these.

Hey Bigtommy! Thanks for the heads up! I actually saw them in Moss Motor's PT book. I really don't want to put flames on my car, but I was seriously thinking about them. Now, should I get the chrome ones or the paintable ones and paint them black?

I think that depending on the car, the mirrors should stay Black. For instance, my car is Stone White, but the black mirros really in my opinion don't "wash out" the car. I have also noticed that Chrysler probably did this as a "euro" thing. My old M3 was colored coded on EVERYTHING except the mirrors. IMHO

I happen to agree. The tinted windows & black pillars tend to blend with the dark mirrors. If I painted them, the mirrors would stand out, and I'm not sure I'd like that. personal choice.
