Default Opinion Needed: Should I wrap/dip my mirrors black?

Hi Guys,
I would like your opinion on something. Should I wrap my mirrors black on my CLA? The only reason I am not dead set on doing it is because my rims are not black and I feel it wouldn't look right. What do you guys think?

I like the contrasting black bottom and turn signals against the red housing, so personally I wouldn't black out the mirror.

Some people look at black ("unpainted") mirror housings as cheap, as only on a base trim.

Agreed. Why does anyone think this is important?

+1 for black mirrors if you like the darker look
