Only problem I see with the tinted look would be these mirrors are not a real CF its more of a sticker thats been cleared. Sucks seeing as there allmost $500 mirros. So just painting them might be my best bet. I am going to talk with the body guy tomorrow.

One more question paint under the hood or just leave black? I say (Dont have a price yet) painting it.
