No More Mickey Mouse Ears

Finally got sick enough and had a few extra bucks so I figured Id change out the dang mickey mouse ears. Replaced them with XLT style mirrors with a semi gloss black cap. It makes a huge difference in appearance to me.

Thanks guys. No the caps arent textured,theyre smooth but the rest of the mirror is the textured plastic like OEM ones.

I thought about power but didnt want to deal with getting the switches and new door panels and such

Nice improvement. Were you able to paint over the colored vinyl or did you have to remove it?
