see if someone can take my 4x4 decal off.

if your really good ptm my handles and mirror caps.

thanks guys !

 

you can get the 4x4 stickers off in 10 mins with a hair dryer.

 

i know this, but once they are off i dont wanna put them back on if i dont like it.

photoshop is ps, i used to have it on my pc, all i need is someone with photoshop to edit out my 4x4 sticker. so i can see what it looks like

 

I'm terrible at ps but take a look at my truck, I have the ptm mirror caps and LT handles and mine is the same color as yours.

i gotta buy new handles and mirror caps to ptm them?

thanks avfrog. what do you guys think, keep 4x4 or ditch it

 

you can sand and paint the ones you have.

the ones i posted are designed to be painted, which will eliminate the extra prep work, and guarantee a surface ready to be painted.

if you intend on having a body shop doing it, some will tell you no way, unless its a part designed to be painted.

It really is up to you. I figured I'd make finding paintable parts easier, incase that is the route you, or others plan to take.

 

good to know. i didnt know shops would turn their noses up at it. thanks for the part #s

 

in some cases. in other cases, they'll charge you outrageously to prep the parts, which may result in a cost similar to what you'd pay to buy the paintable parts. You could prep them yourself and tell them their paintable, but that depends on how good of a job you do. Also, if you don't intend on needing to be able to use your truck for a few days, painting the current parts is no big deal, but if your truck is a daily driver, buying a 2nd set of parts is a good idea.

 

Don't bother buying the smooth mirror caps, they won't fit anyway. All you need is a long thin flat screwdriver and a T-15 torx bit.

1. Rotate mirror down and in to get screwdriver behind mirror glass.
2. Pry clips loose on backside of mirror glass and set aside (unplug heat wires if needed)
3. Remove the four torx head screws inside mirror housing.
4. Pull front half of housing forward and out to separate.
5. Sand, paint, clear, and reinstall

your housing should look like this after removal



The front half of housings before reinstall
