painted side veiw mirrors

I see alot of your cars are very niice and have plenty of mods. and obviously alot of time and money was put in, but how come none of you guys thought of painting the bottom and the inside part of your side veiw mirrors to match your car, instead of leaving it that dull black plastic look? also the front ground effect"mesh" and the difusser, same thing they came in that dull grey/black plastic look. any1 think to paint it to give it a metallic shiny look?

mirror mods have already been discusses here with several photoshop prototypes. As for the rear diffuser, most I'm sure are just waiting for the euroteck ones.

I like the black accents against white. I mono'd my last car. It's a pain unless you keep it stored during the winter months. I also like black rear diffuser.

Mirrors really dont bother me at this time, i bought the brabus mirror slits but havent put them on yet.

As for the mesh, im afraid that if i paint it, it will peel fast & just another thing to worrie about on my front end with rocks.

Rear diffuser, im waiting to do the quad set up with the carbon c63.

Guess peopel have their reasons
