Colored Mirror Covers?
I've seen the ghetto chrome mirror covers, but saw a brand new Lariat today and they had color-matched out of the factory.
It would be a pretty sweet look if I got color matched half-covers for my 2005 model. There's a line on the mirror about half-way down that would be a good place for the cover to stop.
Anyway, just wondering if such a thing is even manufactured, or if I would have to find a half-chrome one and then modify it.

The part #s for the half covers from my '08 service manual are; 17D742 RH/ 17D743 LH Exterior mirror cover (optional - painted or chrome)
You may be able to remove the covers that you have and get them painted.

For a really custom look, you could have them Line-X'ed and color matched to your truck. I know my mirrors take a beating at times...hunting trips, narrow drive thrus, rock chips, and the Line-X would hold up to all of that. Would probably look pretty sweet also.

That would look pretty sweet. Can you get line x in any color?

Their high end liner is colormatched to the truck. Im sure they can do it in small areas too.

I'm going to look into this, as my mirrors take a beating when I go hunting. I've only had my truck for 7 months and they are already scratched all to hell.
