    Side Mirror Color

    I'm having trouble deciding whether to have white or black side mirrors. My car is going to be ENTIRELY white, with black trim. This is a stark, clean white and satin black trim (and shadowline). No chrome anywhere. So now that you have this image, I need some advice:

    The side mirrors can either be white or black - my dad's lobbying for black, and I say white. So we are currently undecided. Photochoppers can feel free to 'shop in some mirror colors, but it's not necessary. What does everyone think? It's going to be either white or black, so don't suggest crazy shit like blue. I need your help!

        vote for body-matched color. (white in this case)

        Black side mirrors make a car look like it’s some sort of low-optioned base-model.

              I'd say either would look good. Black will blend with the shadowline, white will blend with the body.

                You can go either way, it depends on how visible you want them to be. If you want them to appear as part of the car and flow with the body, then they need to be white. If you want them to sort of disappear like Mariano's on his white 4-door, then go with black.

                      Interesting observation. Good to get a range of comments. :)
