Color Keyed Mirrors
I just removed a post of mine from the Classified section and thought it more appropriate to post here. It seems some people are under the impression that there were only 2 choices of trim on mirrors. Chrome and Brushed. Right? Not so. Before I purchased my current LT I looked at an LT with not only matching mirrors, but door handles as well. However it had a slight knock in its 2.4 and service said it was typical. It wasn't. For members who don't believe chevy offered this, I posted a photo of that car in the gallery under LT mirrors.

The contrast breaks up all the solid color nicely.

Brushed Aluminum
What you overlooked in my post was "I looked at an LT with not only matching mirrors, but door handles as well". I should have said that I took it out for a test drive...in fact, the car is still on the dealer's lot and I drive it every day. Trust me o wise one, they'rer Silverstone Silver all right.

Can you provide us with a link to the dealer so we can look a little closer ourselves? If you drive it every day, does that mean you work there? We have enquiring minds...and enquiring minds want to know. 
And what do you mean about a "slight knock" and it being typical?

I don't doubt that you saw them, but they are not available from the factory; only Bright Chrome or Brushed Satin can be ordered.
Check HERE to see the available mirror options.
It is possible the Brushed Satin is what you saw as it matches the Silverstone very closely. If they were indeed Silverstone, the dealer would have had to have their body shop paint them, and this is highly unlikely on a $20k car (why bother?).
If you post some pics it would be easier for everyone to see.

If this is what you are referring to, it is (Edited) the Satin Chrome finish:
I have them on my HHR as well:
Satin Chrome - not Silverstone (and they don't actually match Silverstone either).
Most of the people on this site know their stuff when it comes to HHR's.
