Poll is a little bit closer than I would have imagined. Still haven't made up my mind. It may come down to how hard it is to get off the mirrors

PLEASE PAINT THEM!!! They stick out in a BAD way when they are black... Painted they will flow with the fender instead of bringing it to an abrupt stop...

Same hood and spoiler (as you know) and I got mine painted body color to finish her off !

One phillips screw and 3 10mm nuts (use a gear wrench, it's easier) on each side...

DECISION MADE, PAINT THE MO'FO's

RED! The reason why I think the mirrors should be body color is because of how the fender goes up into them.. They look out of place when they are black and look like they were replaced and havent painted them yet..

I never liked the look of black mirrors on a colored car. The black mirrors always look cheap and plastic. I'm suprised so many people like them black, maybe paint the mirrors red, and then the sail panel red to match the mirrors

I dont mind the sail panel being black as much as the mirrors. Like mentioned many times in this thread, the fender flows right up to the mirror, so they might as well be the same color. Im def gonna paint mine red.

BTW: Can't wait to see pics of your car when you get the hood, i plan on getting the same one

Bingo. It flows with the rest of the scheme, plus, seeing a camaro with everything body colored seems kinda... wierd looking to me, at least.

FYI, one thing that is out of the question is painting the sail panel. I will not and don't have plans to paint that.

Just in case anybody wanted to know

It doesn't seem to be a landslide on the choice but I think I'm leaning towards painted right now. I still wouldn't mind some more opinions though

Yeah, I would NOT paint the sail panel either

The mirrors NEED it though... they look like an afterthought right now...

You guys who are saying to paint the sail panel and roof red =
