Has anyone swapped out their side view mirrors covers?
I have a Steel Gray on order and have been thinking about swapping for polished or plain chrome. Just curious if anyone has done that yet, and if so, any pics of what it looks like??

Thanks for the help.

Would look very bad with bright chrome. Nothing worse than adding too much chrome (chrome B-Pillars are the worst aftermarket thing to happen to any car).

If you want to modify that area to something "chrome-ish", I'd advice to go with an aluminum, or "dull chrome" look, like the color of the strips that run around the greenhouse.

Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for! A sliver of aluminum look. I think that would look really nice against Steel Gray.
