I'm going to go against the grain and say that I like the only partially panted mirrors. Any more red would be too much red. It pulls the windows and tires in fine. Looks good.

-Off topic...did you install the handles or pay a shop to do it? They charge a lot?

Glad someone understands the mirrors.

Local body shop painted the mirrors and handles (all three) removed and installed everything for 225.00

I think they look great! Glad to see you got those handles on finally too!

The mirrors would look good either way, but I am going to go for the full mirror instead.

Talking

Yes, the "half" painted mirrors certainly catch one's eye ... more so than a fully painted would as those without our F150's might not realize the mod.

If ford made one for it, I would not have had to do it.
Well, I'd rather pay out the and buy a custom one from www.BilletBadges.com for about $44.

Gordo, Custom badges are next. Along with painted brush guard and tail light guards.

I stuck the dodge 4x4 emblem on before I knew of the billetbadge source.

Hey what about red over Az. Beige instead of red and black? That would tie into your lower color on the truck. Just a thought.
