That's my thought, also.

Yeah... I'm still working some things out -- I'm very picky when it comes to my car. But definitely decided on the black mirrors.

Go with the black mirrors - they would really go well with the other black accents.

Yep that looks the best. The car needs a little contrast to break up all the white. I am not a fan of black wheels but with a white car they look good.

why would I want to break up all the white with my mirrors? I like the looks of all sleek white.

Black mirrors and rear spoiler were a must when I was buying my C7 so that’s what I got. It’s going on 4 years now since I bought the car and I have no regrets on the black mirrors. I love the way it breaks up the yellow on my car.

Thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking to hear about. I do think like the black wheels it gives the car a more "racecar" like appearance. Tr he body color mirrors like I have now are classy and sleek but I have the 10 spike blade wheels in pearl nickel so my car would look funny with the black mirrors imo...

The one on order has the black wheels.

3.5hrs left to make any changes. I wish he never told me I could lol

Agree, the black mirrors would not go well if you don’t have the black wheels. Good luck on whatever you decide, I personally love the look of the C7 with the black wheels and all the black accents.

Of course, both look great. I had red with black mirror for a few years, and now red with red mirrors. Overall, I like the matching mirrors better.

For those of you who changed from white to black mirrors...did you have them painted or did you have them wrapped? I am in Pensacola, FL and there is a shop here that has the carbon flash wrap. He does good work but a little on the expensive side. He wants $250 to wrap both mirrors. Does this sound about the going cost that others are paying?
