almost all the mirrors fronts are 1 piece. even the ones with power fold, turn signals, and heat. only if you have the 1/2 chrome cap or already have the painted mirror cap will it be 2 pcs. 07 & 08 mirrors are the same way. i have an 07 and mine are 1 solid piece. yes the whole mirror stays there, all the cover does it cover the backside of the mirror and hold the power motor. pop off the glass, remove the 4 torx screws, BAM!!! mirror cover will be off.

I'm trying to do this right now so I can start sanding on mine, but every time I stick the screwdriver down there and put pressure on there I can hear the mirror sounding like it's about to break. Should I just leave them on?
EDIT: I got them off and got the sanding done. They will be getting painted on Monday!

Here's mine, I did paint a part of the gap, say it's an U chanels, i painted to the first of the inner eged, stop there, that'd give the illusion a thick add on peice, instead of painted peice, some pics hope i can show it
I over tapped the bottom of the gap, and trim the tape out before and score that line again after painted, i can easily scraped out any unwanted paint in there to give a sharp clean finished line

That looks perfect........Do you mind sharing what paint you used? is it factory color or just close to factory white.
