they’re actually wrapped as well! i had caps for a while but the gap annoyed me a lot so i figured if other things are getting wrapped anyways i might as well get them done!

Looking good. I wrapped my mirror caps as well and am happy -- well i wrapped my CT mirror caps. Which are the same mirrors as on the IS. Glad you did the bases!

i agree. bases definitely need to be blacked out. always irks me when I see someone with un-blacked bases *cough*sheddy*cough* =D

Lexus does the from the factory with black bases on cars they do black mirrors on. So i try to copy what the manufacturer designers do.
