Help finalizing .2 S build
After recent price increase, I decided to pair down my options but one question I still have would love opinion of the brain trust.
Trying to decide between mirrors painted in exterior color or accented in high gloss black to match insides of the classic wheels and black trim in front and back of the car. My plan is to ppf the front and do a color change to black over the front fascia lower lip to give it more of the black sport design front look.
If I stick with mirrors with high gloss black trim, is it necessary that I also do window trim in high gloss black? I’m inclined to say no, but if anyone has any real life experiences where the think this is a must, please let me know. TIA

I've got the mirror you selected along with the high gloss black window trim. It ties things nicely together (I also have the same wheels you're getting, black brake calipers and the black HD-Matrix lights). Could I live without those? Absolutely!

If you have some pics of the mirrors with the trim, I would love to see some

Best I could do right now is zoom in on some old pics. The photo quality degrades when I post them here. DM me your email if you want me to send them to you.

If you can’t decide I would pick color match…if you don’t like it and want to change later it’s easy to have it painted gloss black but painting it to match the color requires more skills. Just a thought if you really can’t decide
