Gloss black mirror covers

[MustangGuy]

Vinyl wrap would be a cheaper option, IMO.

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

Vinyl wrap is the direction I'm heading. I think there are some videos out of folks removing them.

I ordered a set of covers from Ford. I'm going to spray and clear them and will let you know how they turn out.

Yes, I believe it is called paint.

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.

These images are the eBay black gloss covers I ordered, installed. The driver's side one went on perfectly, fell right into place for a top notch fit. The passenger side I could not get quite as perfect, however I'm going to re-approach it soon with some fresh 3M tape to see if I can get it as good as the driver's side.

You can see where there is a slight exposed area on the passenger side, showing the Deep Impact blue paint.

The driver's side is so good you gotta squint to tell it's a cover.

I have a UA gloss black GT350 Track Pack spoiler, and the finish and coloring of these is as dead on as you could hope. Not bad for $60 shipped.

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.

What springs are you running?

That fitment is perfect.
I am installing Steeda progressive springs and I want the same kind of fitment.

I ordered a spare set of OEM and had them painted black, makes it easy if I ever want to go back to the originals.

I have seen some mirrors wrapped in vinyl and didn't like the outcome. Due to the shape of the mirror, most shops cut the vinyl and you can see the seem.

Warren, those covers look pretty good. Did you get the passenger side to seat correctly with new tape? I had already ordered an extra set of OEM's as Joe did. I'll keep you posted on how they turn out.

Wow, yours look like they came out great!

I did end up getting the passenger side straight, I had to use rubbing alcohol while prying the cover off, to let the alcohol break the tape apart which worked great. When I did the re-install I followed the following link's instructions on mounting 3M products and it worked perfectly to get it in position.

The internet is pretty slick, i never thought to try this mounting procedure for 3M before.

One thing I will say though about my experience with these, the passenger side very outer area pulls away from the natural shape of the mirror cover very slightly. The driver side you could not ask for a better fit. The passenger side is acceptable, but maybe their mold is slightly off as it just doesn't pull in all the way.

The only person who would know is YOU, it is that slight.
