Well the opportunity will come when I paint the hood and spoiler and I've always been kinda indecisive with the mirrors.

Paint them red or keep them black?

It could be just me, but I always thought they looked better black. IMHO, they are less noticable black, as opposed to being body color and "sticking out" especially with your dark tint and the B-Pillar being black. Of course, I'm unusual and kind of prefer the side moldings and body lines on the Sunoco hood.

With that being said, I have a sunoco hood with no center line and SS spoiler on order. If that makes any difference to anybody.

I'm starting to see a lot of biased opinions So even if your mirrors are black or painted, try to think of which would be the best possible.

Hmm...as far as the exterior goes, the black mirror is the only thing besides the wheels (which you have changed) that distiguishes a 98/99 car from a 00+. So...in that respect...go red! My car is red as well, and it's a 98.... I am starting to think about what to do with it myself.

It looks good black, but I think it would look better if you painted them red. I personally think it flows better. RED!
