White or Black Side Mirror?
Trying to decide, leave it or black it. I had the hood done already and not sure if I'm going overboard.

^^^ I was just about to type that! I like body color mirrors if the spoiler matches, but black mirrors with wheels, spoiler, etc. (Didn't James Bond make a comment to that effect? Perhaps in Diamonds are Forever?)

agreed with black mirrors since the splitterss, all accenting, spoiler, wheels etc are all black.
not to mention, i love the red pinstripe on the side skirts (would be B.A. on the front splitter too - not that any1 asked but still

To me, the black (Carbon Flash) side mirrors look like mirror covers. I also can't get past the stigma that entry level trims usually have black side mirrors to match up with all body colors.

BTW, forgot to add. This is one of the things I like the most about the C7. I have one of the most common combinations--Arctic White exterior with Adrenaline Red interior. But if you consider the model/options:
Grand Sport
Two Tone Interior (Red/Black)
Black Wheels
White Mirrors
White Roof
Black Vents
No Heritage
No Stinger Stripe
No Z07
No Extra Carbon Fiber/Flash
then I've yet to see it's twin posted here on the forums. The amount of customization possible is awesome.

Personally, I don't like the black mirrors on non-black cars, they look like appendages sticking out. But that being said, my name isn't on your registration, so who cares what I think, get whatever you like.

On your car, which is similar to mine, the Carbon Flash (CF) mirrors compliment the other CF pieces, i.e., scoops, spoiler, vents, skirts, splitter, grille, ducts, stinger, valance, etc.
On cars without the CF accents (body color), then the body color mirrors look better.
