    Default ::.. Lights and Mirrors...

    1. Are the mirrors supposed to be fully painted, or was this perhaps done afterwards?

    2. Do your lights have such a pronounced halo look until it's fully dark? Especially the non-HID fogs...

    That is the way my mirrors look too, but I remember seeking pics recently of someone who had put on mirrors from a newer model to update the look. Those were not all painted and joined the car in a different way. Can't remember who--was it you brodee?

    It was Brodee and I like them. Yeah my mirrors are the same. I'm thinking about painting part of mine black, like Brodee's.

    It's in one of these recent threads I saw one with white rounder mirrors and black 'stalk'. Let me see...

    ya, that was me. The '89-92 models have the mirrors like yours that are all painted. '93-'95 got the newer style mirrors where only the cap on the mirror is painted body color and the rest is black. They are a direct swap for the old ones.

    Hmmm one would think that fully painted mirrors were a luxury. Wonder why they went to the black stalks :|
