    On a '97-'03 maybe, if the car wasn't black. '04+ just don't look right with the mirrors a different color because they appear to flow into the fender and then just stop. Maybe if you blended the paint with some kind of fender graphic- but then it starts to look rice.

    ^ This. All the way I was thinking this.

    Just go back to gloss black and stop following gravel trucks too close. I have a 99 and neither mirror has ANY chips in it and I live dirty south. I just don't see how you chipped the mirrors.

    Any other color besides gloss black is just going to throw off the clean lines on the car, with the matte black or CF look it will be a "dirty black" and makes the point from the fender to the door look weird and jagged. Just leave it gloss finished and cleaned up and find another area to put a cheap mod. SE Lip, SLP Spoiler, Inferno hood, if you need different colors do some work to the interior. Fix the mirror back and find another part of the car to work on. My 2 cents.

    Looks like you had to get a new mirror and were too cheap/poor to paint it to match.

    I think if your car were a color other than black and you had plastidipped accents it would probly look good. But its up to you.
