RE: Installed Color Matched Mirror Covers..
More pic requests! I'm more interested in a closeup shot of the front of the mirrors, one where I can see how these covers fit over the stock mirror, trying to see if there a lot of space/gaps between the two when installed. They do look pretty good though!

If you can use sand paper, you can get your mirrors painted w/o bringing the car in, for not much more than the covers + shipping. Just my opinion but I don't like the groove profile of the xenon covers. ...can't say I've seen that style on any mirror ever. Ford just skipped a step (painting the mirrors) so it's up to us to do it. And "yes" on black it does make a big difference. I posted detail on removal and sanding out here; if you can't find it I can repeat it for ya. ...Jim

Fairlane292...I have come to the conclusion that your and nothsa opinions were correct. I have taken the covers off and I am selling them. I can't knock their quality and the paint job is great its just not the look I am going for. I have tried to keep everything looking old school and these look more futuristic. Thanks for your honesty. If someone is interested in them they are on ebay. I paid $365 for them painted so I will be taking a bath on them. Thats the thing about mods..sometimes its what you want and sometimes it's not.

The important thing is that you end up with what you want. Recover what you can on the covers and once you have yours painted you'll be so happy with that look you'll quickly forget the minor $$ loss on the covers. Some of this is trial and error; I'm ready to have my new chin spoiler painted in yellow and there's a chance I won't like it; ...probably risking $500 just "to find out". ...just part of enjoying the car and the freedom we have to be creative and to be different.
Look for my thread on mirror removal and prep. If you need it and can't find it just let me know. Good luck, enjoy the car!!!!

this is a pic of my 05 GT that I traded in on my 06....I liked the the way they looked on it, but the price has doubled since I bought these, so I might not use them on my red car...
