the real reason is because i hurt the car and had to get a new driver side mirroe with is black with doesnt look bad. and i think i can repaint that one and do the other one black. rather then paying a shop to paint the mirror pewter again

I think it might look funny seeing as the lines on a TA flow VERY well, that may clash with them a little bit, but the bottom line is its your car and if you think you'll like it do it !

yea i would definetly color match it because its ugly to see a pewter t/a with black mirros UNLESS, you got black rims.... then you might be able to pull it off nice, but not with stock rims.
