Looks very nice Can you give a little bit of info as to how you remove the mirrors? I've been thinking about painting mine since they're kinda faded.

Thanks a lot everyone!

That DIY is good, but I did a couple of things differently.

First of all it is not necessary to remove the whole door panel. I just pried it at one end where the mirror is, just so I have enough room to work.

Its was difficult to get the door panel to snap back into place at first, because I wasn't sure how it went on. What you have to do is pull it up at the very top so it snaps back into place.

Also, I wasn't sure how to de-pin the connectors, so what I did is cut the rubber pieces a little so connector fits through the hole and took those off. Then we masked off the mirrors when painting the mirror mounts.

Here is how we hung them.

Looks great! I kick myself for not doing this back when I had some extensive paint work done.
