Mirror Covers

I have checked around and cannot locate a set of victory red mirror covers. It seems they only sell them in chrome, satin, black, and primer. Does anyone know of any places that sell them in colors or that paint them? I can paint them myself but figured since I have to buy a new one I might as well look for a painted one. Thanks!

Not to say they don't exist, but I can't recall ever seeing color matched covers for sale except for occasionally on e-bay.

Probably your best bet is to get a set of primed covers and either painting them yourself or having them painted to match, I can't imagine a body shop charging too much for such a tiny job.

The good news is that Victory Red is readily available from Dupli-Color unlike some HHR colors.

Thanks mike. I was hoping to find some but it's not a big deal to paint them.

There are textured black mirror covers as an accessory (which I've heard look kinda cheesy). The mirror covers are not available as a standalone part as far as I know, only included with the mirror housing assembly.

I painted mine red but I have to get a new one. Someone opens their door into my mirror. It tore some paint off and broke one of the clips that hold it in.

Carsmetics wants 150 dollars to paint them both. Basecoat clearcoat. I think it's a little steep. Should I look around some more. For that price I'll do them myself again.
