DIY painted mirror caps. Thanks FX4LIFE

Had been wanting the painted mirror caps for a while but could never find the OEM mirrors without it costing a fortune. I was hesitant to paint mine till I saw how nice FX4LIFE's came out. He was nice enough to send me a link to how he did his, which made this mod much more easier.....

If you do this right, you will never be able to tell that they are not original. I was able to find a place online which paint code matches the spray paint I used, the paint is a perfect match... The total of this mod was in total about $75...What do you guys think?
