black, it helps break the color up a bit and i think it makes the body color stand out more too.

Black mirrors are for black cars!! Same goes for the sail panel... paint them both!

I painted the mirrors, sail panel and grill body color on my BBM '99 and I love it. I hated the black...

I personally like it black, especially if the top is black.
