Default Agent 47 mirrors

I have a set of these mirrors and am wondering what everyone thinks about what looks better on a black car, painted or left as is? I am leaning towards painted and clear coated for a more finished look but wanted some feedback.

Thanks for any opinions offered.

Do it. Take pics. Share them.

Sounds better than unpainted.

definitely painted, if for no other reason than to be able to sand off the mold lines.

I think I am convinced. I will drop them off at the body shop on Monday. I will post pics when I have them installed.

Thanks.

Definitely paint them. The unfinished black will peel after a few months in the sun. I had to paint mine flat black after that happened. They say it has a uv resistant coating to protect the plastic and that's what peeled.

Sand and paint them. Worth the money.

I am definitely having them painted! Cutter and Waldo your cars are awesome! I can only hope to come close to that quality.
