Crap, that was easy. Already got my mirror caps off, masked and started sanding them. I will have new PTM fender flares and skull caps by the end of the day.

Now I gotta go get more DupliColor!

Thanks everyone for the help!!

It just flows with the window lines.
Flow is very important!

I had my entire mirror painted to match and think it looks great.

I did my entire mirror, but had the chrome package so the chrome caps were on before and aren't the stick on's. I painted the whole mirror b/c it's MUCH EASIER to wax and not have the plastic all white. Some people like it some don't. I don't fine it looks that bad. You could always paint the top cap the color of your truck and the rest black so it's not the rough plastic and it'll still go with the windows.

1/2 is only way to go, unless your black, then the whole mirror is fine.

If it were me I would either do the whole mirror or nothing.
