Gloss black mirror covers

[Warhead]

Anybody know the best way to achieve this? I want to match my mirror covers to my UA paint code Track Pack spoiler, lots of covers on the market but seemingly all of them are carbon fiber style.

See if you can order California Special mirror covers.
People have purchased unpainted covers and polish them to look shiny.

I've been looking and I don't think you're going find anything new that's painted. I ordered G1 Absolute Black paint from a company called Automotive Touch Up. I just need to confirm the OEM part number for the covers as there are multiple options. New covers are between $40-$50 each side. I'll spray and clear them to match the track pack spoiler.

I did find these on eBay, but I have the Premium package with turn signals on the mirrors, and they have not confirmed if they will work (doubtful).

They just responded after I sent them a close up of my mirrors, telling me these are correct. I ordered from them ($60 for the pair, gloss black) and will follow up with how well they work out and match the track pack spoiler.

The best way is to find some off a black car which is probably hard or order an OEM set and get them painted black. Could also just pull your current ones off and paint black.

I had a set painted and they turned out great i think.

Off topic but your car looks great! Even the red calipers with that setup of grabber blue & black theme look good.

Vinyl wrap would be a cheaper option, IMO.

On the subject, does anybody know how to remove the mirror covers?

Was looking at offering these as well but was curious on figment. Waiting for you find out.

I'd like to know as well. I've done a search and read multiple responses. Some advise the cover just pops off, other advise to pull the mirror off to access the cover screws?

They just pop off. If you pull outwards on them from the inside they will come right off.

Also interested in this...thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

Knowing my luck I'll break/snap something.

I really would like to buy a pair of black painted covers for the premium models, that way I don't have to drive 60 minutes and pay $100 for vinyl wrap :doh:

Or I could attempt to wrap them myself if I could get 'em off.

Mine did not come right off, they were on pretty tight, made a snap sound on the passenger side but no tabs broke. I pulled from the inside by the window out, then from the bottom up, going back and forth until they finally came off. Way worth it, inexpensive mod.

They are very tight when you go to take them apart but some good gloss black vinyl wrap really makes me look nice
