What color mirror caps?

Postby nrigali [OP] » Jul 17 2012, 8:32pm

Hey guys,

I just got this white beauty, and I ordered a bunch of parts for her. I am putting chrome nerf bars on, and I am wondering what color would look best for mirror caps? Should I go white or chrome?

I've got a white '03 with white mirror caps and I really like the way it looks.

I would go with white since you don't have chrome on your door moldings.

Agree with the others. Especially with the white end-caps on the front bumper - keep it clean the rest of the way back, white caps and handles. If you want to keep the really clean look, you could consider removing the door moldings as well.

Ok, I will definitely do white mirror caps. I was considering removing the side molding as well, Is it really as easy as it sounds to get the adhesive off without damaging the clear coat?

I pulled the side molding off my truck... It was very easy. I bought a rubber wheel to do it, but found it was easier with my thumbs. Zero damage to the clear coat.

I was amazed to see how much dirt and moisture was in there after only having the truck for a few months. Very glad I did it.

Here's a couple links for you.

Go white for the mirror caps. Stick on chrome looks out of place.
