search the other thread in here...Joeb427 started or send him a PM. He provided me with the info. they are not a vendor so i dont want to post that info.

They are painted, gave them our lovely paint code...looks good! Perfect match its like 200$ painted, shipped, ect...well worth the money so far. QC is to my standard and i am PICKY! i just recently wrote in the overlay thread how the center doesnt fit...

Its the cover (shell of the outer part) the 3 screws hold it on. it just comes right off after that. this replaced that piece. i had them paint it as it was 50$ and match and paint is perfect! you can have your shop paint if you wanted.

***UPDATE***

All is installed on both sides. Drivers door is the same as you see in the first post. This time it took me about 15 min since i knew what i was doing. Wires are all ran under the hood to the lights. Now i am searching for info on the wires so i can tap them in! This will be the real test.

If anyone has this info as i am searching please PM me so i can complete this now rather then searching. Will post updated pics after they wired to see them in action!!

Almost had a seizure looking at your pics!

I couldn't find anything on the forums about the wiring. Sorry.

I didn't get the mirror covers today,Passnu2.
I wasn't home to sign for them Friday so my mailman left a card to sign in my mailbox.I signed the paperwork and left it in the mailbox.
My regular guy was off today.His replacement somehow didn't have the package.
I hope to get them Monday.I'm very happy you say the quality is very good.I'm dying to see how the paint match is to my crystal white pearl.

I finally got some direction on the wires. Looks like the green feed is positive. Took a lot of searching and i will do this later today and post pics and confirm the color of the other wire. I did see in a pic from the headlight removal that there is a green wire so all should be working later today

I got my mirror covers today.
Nice quality pieces but the paint is a bit off.I took a shot with them painting the covers but felt it would be tough to match up crystal white pearl 3 stage paint.
When it comes to certain things,I want things to be as perfect as possible and my car is one of those things.
My buddy at the bodyshop will repaint them.
