Anyone with painted side mirrors and/or fog light bezel?

[drugazi]

I'm talking about the black plastic on the side mirrors and the black plastic around the fog lights. I have tuxedo black and it looks cheap/like they missed a spot. On the other colors, it's not bad the way it is distinct from the body. Anyway, wondering if anyone has done this (on any color)? If anyone has pics?

I've seen more overseas people paint their foglight surround a glossy black which looks much better than the plastic finish.

yeahh.... but now that i look at it again, does it come with ALL that plastic and it's already painted? cuz even though that's a lot of money to fix the given problem, i don't think that's overpriced.

I was wondering the same thing. Is anyone brave enough to pull off the fog light bezels and just spray paint them gloss black, maybe with some clear on top for protection?

Do you know if you have to take the bumper off?

Sorry, don't know.

Yes you'll need to remove the bumper to remove the surround. It pops out from behind.

LOL you can take them to a piant shop and get out cheaper then that non sense. LOL

You dont need to take the bumper off. Ive removed mine a few times you just start with the most side closest to the center of the car and give some smooth pulls. No yanking just a steady pull as you hear pops from each tab coming out.

I kind of like the semi gloss black on most things.
I have however repainted my mirror caps a different shade of orange.
