mirror cover swap

I have a base model black ls coupe and have seen the SS mirror covers for sale. Instead of spending thhe money on them, i already am painting my SS body kit so i'll have extra paint left over, how do you remove the mirror covers, think i would be able to paint them/ clearcoat them to match the car? anyone done this with success? thanks

the flat black plastic just doesnt look good.

I have tried to find a pair of painted black covers for mine and have had absolutely no luck. I've not wanted to sand and paint these though for fear they'll get screwed up.

not soo much to make it look like an ss but that is the route im going after searching for body kits, i think the stock SS kit looks the best compared to any other kit out there besides the grip tuning but thtstoo much money. so yea it's going to be an ss clone, everything from exterior to interior and hopefully down the road performance. it's a fun project

atleast i'm not buying SS badges and emblems for my car, but i am doing all appearance mods and id love to upgrade the interior to power windows and locks, which means i need the door panels and bezels and it would be nice to sit on leather instead of cloth
