Chrome or Painted Mirror caps ?

I like the painted ones IMO...

Painted is good...but I wish I would have painted the WHOLE Mirror and then slapped on a chrome mirror cap.

I have painted, so I may be a bit biased in my opinion :anitoof: I just think it gives it that nice up-level look that should have come from the factory, but didn't (and the sad part is that everyone is going away from it...F*rd was the last one to include painted door handles and painted mirror caps on most of their trucks, but not anymore )

And why did GM drop the chrome caps on the SLE & LS models anyway?

Dunno...like everything else in life, it probably cost a few cents less, so you know how they like to save those pennies...

i vote for painted also.

Painted :rocking:

painted + chrome :head2:

or should I wait 4 years and get a SLT?
But by that time they will be black on the SLT

www.streetinspiredkustoms.com carries painted and chrome :bowtie:

Does anyone have instructions on painting the black plastic stuff? I have stock SLT mirrors right now with the chrome insert. I wanted to keep the chrome, but paint the black stuff pewter to match the truck.

I vote for painted caps...mine are gettin done as we type.

I've heard that if you paint the entire mirror that you should not fold the mirrors in cause it could catch the painted surface and ship it.

I fold in my mirrors all the time and they have never once caught the surface and chipped it. If I had gotten the all pewter door handles, then would have just put the pewter caps on it, but I'm sticking to the pewter/chrome scheme.
