I was thinking the same thing . Last car i owned the base model came with black mirrors and the fully loaded model was colormatcched .First thing evertyone did was colormatch the mirrors .A lot of the cheaper cars have black mirrors so i didnt understand why anyone with a G would want to cheapen it up .

If you want to test it out, learn how to use photoshop, because I can guarantee you'll plastidip them say "yea looks pretty good, I like it" then not go and spend the $50 to get them sprayed.


You're new on this forum, you make countless dumb threads such as "the human intake" You make threads about things that could have been searched for or googled, such as "How to clean/shine my exhaust tips?" Then you ask for opinions and when people say don't do it, you throw a bitch fit and try and argue the opinion you asked for.

To top it all off, your first thread on this forum was asking if the ugliest set of wheels in history are going to look good on your car.

What I am trying to say is, the reason g53mans mirrors look good is because they were painted professionally not with a $6 can of paint. Mod your car to his extent, learn what he knows, then spend $6 on a can of paint and you'll understand why this is my opinion.

Why attack me? Of course I was a noob when I started! Thats what a noob is! Even you were one, you are not perfect either. And its pretty creepy that you searched my history as thats from a long time ago.


Basically this morning, I realized about plasti dip and I already want to peel it off my grill as I want it done good. Stop attacking I learned my lesson, dad.

But I appreciate it. Thank you for your opinion. I didn't know why I loved plasti dip when in reality it looks like sh*t. I'm definently not going to bother with that crap again.

Chicks dont care if your mirrors are plasti dipped or matched. They see you in a g and they want you. Who cares about plasti or paint. Yall need to relax and stop being a bunch of internet douchebags with massive internet wieners i gurantee none of you would say this **** to anyone's face in "real" life.

If you sanded, you might as well have done it correctly with flat paint.
