    Black side mirrors on a Red car?

    I was wondering what you guys' opinions were on body color vs. black side mirrors.

    I was looking at the photoshop contest, and Chris's submission with a red lowered E30 with black mirrors. It intrigued me.

    I remember e9nine's black mirrors that looked good. And it would go with a lot of ours taste for the red/black combo. Whatchathink?

    Paint them.

    EDIT: let me be more specific: Paint them red.

        I think body color is better in this case.

          I saw a red E30 (shadowlined) withe mirrors painted red, but the bases left black. It actually looked really cool.

              go for it...you can use my car if you like. I'd be interested in what it would look like.

                  meh..... it looked attractive from the side, or an angle......but without the windows beside the mirror......it doesn't look so. From head on, it's :?

                  Maybe black bottom and red mirror portions would look nice.

                      I prefer painted on all E30s, the modern ones need it the most.
                      Im now E30less.

                            here's an attempt to photoshop the painted mirror with black base

                            it looks alright but I'd just paint the whole thing

                              That looks lame. Paint the whole thing.
