i have an 05 S, silver and black it came with the checkered flag mirror caps. and believe it or not it is a real pain trying to find solid black mirror caps.

anyone willing to trade or know where to find some replacements?

thanks for the help/advice!

 

My 06 MCS had body color mirror caps stock, but a previous owner plastic dipped them and they are now black... I don't have any good pictures but I think you can see them here (wheels and grill and IC scoop are all plastic coated as well)

 

car looks good!

saturday night i ALMOST rattle canned the mirrors lol, but against my better judgement i was talked out of it haha.

we will see however. it may come down to that!

 

You can try plastic dipping (that was the purpose of me posting, but I neglected to mention that), but I don't know how expensive it is, since it was on the car when I bought it.

 

lol will look into it. hopefully i can find some and then that way just have a spare set sitting around.

but will keep it an option, thanks for the idea though

 

just paint them!

 

LOL yea, i am leaning that way. possibly this weekend.

also thinking about painting the intercooler inlet on the hood and grills. not sure yet how far i am going to go as of yet.

 

Have any pictures of the car yet? I am quite partial to the contrast of black/light colors. That's what drew me to my MCS when I first saw it...then I drove it and was immediately in love. Bought it the next day

 

that is almost exactly what happened to me when i bought mine on friday!

and i have a couple of pics, not much. i am hoping to get some good pics this weekend when the work week starts to slow down.

but when i do i will definitely post em up!

 

Hopefully you didn't attribute a shimmy in the steering wheel to "unbalanced tires" when in fact it was due to a bad tie rod end and shot LCA bushings
