Default Painted Mirror Covers - Going CRAZY

New Mustang owner and New to this forum, but not new to forums - so before you read me the "Riot Act" about SEARCHING, let me explain.

I did a search for Side Mirror Covers, Painted Side Mirrors and all other combinations. I found some great information and they were all very helpful, but here is my issue. I was at work and thought (this is where I might have gone wrong) that I found a link to a vendor that has painted side covers that included the colored vertical (triangle) piece against the window.

When I got home and tried to look up and search for the same post/thread, I could not find it. I may be completely wrong, but is there a vendor/supplier out there that makes a side cover that includes the mirror and the vertical piece against the window.

And for those that will just say - "paint the mirrors" - not an option at this time, I want a quick easy solution - so thanks, but no thanks.

Any help on this would be great, if I am wrong and there is not a vendor out there, I will just have to go with what is out there.

maybe try rpi designs...they don't have the side triangle piece but maybe they can hook you up since they do custom paint. I like the mirror caps better though from Stangmods.com Haven't put mine on yet because it's so frickin cold out.

PennState - I agree painting is best, just not for me at this time. By the way, I just can't stop viewing your Avatar - wow, that is one for the classics.

Mcstang & Conn337 - thanks for your input - I did find those vendors and if I can not find the vendor I thought was out there for that vertical trangle piece, I guess that will be my only option.

But I am still holding out hope that it was not a mirage & I really did she it.......

Looks like I was crazy, as nobody responded with a vendor that has a painted vertical triangle piece. I ended up just placing an order with RPI - great price, plus 20% off. Can't wait to see what the look like on the car.

eddypython - thanks - I think those were the ones I originally found - Damn it! I looked at Wheelskins, but never would have thought to look under the Shelby section - I went straight to Mustang and looked under Mirror Covers. Anyway, I guess I will just have to see how the RPIs' look - if they look good, I will just have to keep them, if not, I will check out the Wheelskins. Thanks again!!
