Sorry I meant upper sideview mirror cover. I know a lot of the Silverado's and Sierras come with this stock. It would just chrome the upper half of the mirror. I just feel like if I put the chrome handles on then the mirror covers are essential for the "look".

With the front half of the truck that laden with chrome, I'd suggest some nice chrome bed rails too, if only to even things out a bit... the back half would be desperately lacking in that regard I think. But that could be the designer in me talking, searching for a balance.

I just bought a set of chrome upper mirror covers off of ebay and they look great. I was hesitant to use an aftermarket product, but they mount the same way that the stock one do (I didn't want the ones that just stick on over the stock ones) and were a third of the price. The quality seems good. I paid $28 shipped.

dont waste the money on the chrome handle caps.. i bought them for our 2008 yukon and i was remined of how cheap they look every time i opened the door.

i recently swapped the black handles for the complete chrome handles on our 2011 Sierra and WOW it looks soooo much better then those handle caps and i spent about $60 on the caps and $100 on the complete door handle. it is soo worth it. check it out. they look OEM.
