Default agent 47 mirrors, 2 toned or fully painted...?

i am in a debate about doing a two tone or fully painting the agent 47 retro mirrors once i get them, i am leaning more towards the fully painted because that way there are no lines for the paint shop to worry about... they can just paint them entirely..... you tell me

Can't vote on this one because I have both LOL! My Agent 47's are two toned and fully painted. I did want any lines so I had my body shop guy remove the lines and them paint it black to match my black trim and then he painted the cup to match my car.

I voted for single color. Think the agent 47's would look better that way.

BTW Cutter, your mustang is so sexy.

I love the two toned look adds a really nice touch to the mirror!

Two-Toned: I wouldn't want to add a bunch of attention to the huge triangle. It came colored black for good reason.

Right on! And on a light colored car it's much better to paint the cup only or leave everything black IMO.

Also, I like to leave the inside of the cup alone for contrast and easy cleaning.
