Re: what do you think of the mirrors?

Looks pretty good.

I removed my vinyl to make it look more like a delivery truck/van, not for the mirrors.

If leaving the vinyl on, those mirrors would be a great idea!

Re: what do you think of the mirrors?

Looks great.

I was thinking of doing something similar.

I was going to buy mirrors for a black XB and replace my white ones with the black ones.

Again, looks great !

Re: what do you think of the mirrors?

thanks guys.
the stock black xb shells are a black onxy pearl, so they wouldn't look all that great. i think i paid around 70 for the new shells and then just sprayed them the matte color to match the pillars/tape.

Re: what do you think of the mirrors?

It looks great. I think it would only look good on the white and silver colors. I love the color keyed mirrors on my ride.

Re: what do you think of the mirrors?

you might be able to find them at a junk yard on a totaled xb or just go to your dealer, they are held on my plastic tabs so just pull and they come right off.

They look stealthy. I like. Especially with the black wheels and the silver body color.

I like that a lot. I was thinking about doing that, or removing the A pillar tape and doing matte black on the whole roof. Have not decided yet. Looks really good. BTW I think your car would look great with the front bumper piece painted matte black. It would tie in really well.
