Hey,
My car's getting painted right now, it will be an electric blue. I noticed he hadn't done much prep work (or any at all) to the Mirrors... so I'm assuming he will not paint them. Should I tell him to paint them blue also? Half blue (the part that actually swivels)? or Keep all of it black? I'm just wanting some opinions... I see 240's all 3 way, i'm just wondering what people like...
-Thanks-

i saw paint the mirrors just my opinion.. it is the little details that will stand out once your car is nicely painted and your mirriors look like crap..

idk what color your car is previously..(im guessing it was black since your mirrors are black) .. if it was the same color he could possibly be just reclearing them.
but ya paint them.. same color

to me this looks weird.. but everyone has their own opinions

Mirrors should match the A-pillars.

I'd get the painted the body color. If not keep it black, don't "half" anything. "half" assing will make your car looked "half assed"

He said half blue as an option and i said half anything would look half assed.

So a two tone paint job is considered half assed? Well fml...

Well, I know some guys in West Hollywood that would love to turn you into their gimp slave,
but will you do it just cause they "like" it ???

To me S13's don't look as good with all the pillars and mirrors and everything painted. I'd leave it all black.

if it's a S13, leave them black, but have him wetsand and buff them to match the shine of the new paint.

S14, paint them.

areed with everyone else, if you do the pillers, match paint, otherwise they will stick out all funny like.
