Also interested I know you can remove the painted part of the mirrors just don't know how. I know somebody has done it on here I just cant remember the thread it was posted in.

Thanks for letting us know. Are those wheels powder coated? They looks really good we need more pics and I'm guessing the side mirrors covers are painted as well?

Sorry I took so long.. Ok so you will pull from the side closest to the window until you can't anymore.. Then pull from the bottom part up and go back to pulling from the window until it comes off.. I just took mine off to take this pictures in less than 2 minutes.. There is only 2 hooks in the middle

Sorry for the resurrection but is that a broken tab with a screw still in the cover? Like the screw needed to be removed prior to taking cover off by popping off glass to get at it?

I'm glad someone did the show and tell how to do this. I finally figured it out a couple weeks ago when I installed Ingot Silver mirror covers on my Guard convertible.

Well I did find a plastic pry bar where the cover meets the mirror frame was helpful in getting the covers to pop but, after the initial release it is a matter of rotating toward the window and up. Just go easy with the pry bar and it will pop off. Hope this helps. Just overcome the fear of breaking something. The curved tabs are not essential to the covers holding on (broke a couple and no problem.)

back at last...first great you posted this info. to be clear, pulling from the wSorry I took so long.. Ok so you will pull from the side closest to the window until you can't anymore.. Then pull from the bottom part up and go back to pulling from the window until it comes off.. I just took mine off to take this pictures in less than 2 minutes.. There is only 2 hooks in the middle
thanks...so did you have mirror turned to face the window then pry the edge? Victorley makes it look simple...yeah, the fear factor. tried removing and seemed difficult. how was it to remount and did you paint or buy a set of take-offs? saw a lightning blue with magnetic grey accents...liked it but probably stay with black. rear spoiler, hood vents...and mirrors if I get them off!

I took them off without rotating them. If you look at the pic of the underside of the cover, there are 3 indents on the outside edge and across the top of the cover. Once these are popped, it will slip off pretty easily. It is VERY tight on the mirror and it feel like you are going to break something but, it is pretty simple once you get the top and side popped off. Re-installing is even easer, just snaps back in. I got lucky and picked up the Ingot Silver ones off ebay as take off items. I am not good at painting but these are factory and the contract was what I wanted. I am thinking of having the windshield frame wrapped in silver (I'm bad with film). LOL black should look great on your car. The hardest part will be removing the factory spoiler if you have one on. I highly recommend LOTS of WD40, 10lb fishing line, and a heat gun for really tough spots. I put the Foose spoiler on mine. Not too big, not too small. If I did not have the factory holes, I would have done the Roush spoiler style.
