side mirrors

AleroGX04 · 08-08-2006, 10:51 PM

hey, need some help. My alero is white and the side mirrors are black and i think it'll look better with them white as well. Just wonderin how much work this involves and if a how-to would be possible. thanks

the more expensive route is takin your car to a body shop. they could probably match the white fairly easily.

shouldn't he spray some clear coat over it after he paints it white? Just thought I'd ask for him.

i put 02 grand am side mirriors (the two post ones) on my alero. they look way better than the ugly stock alero mirrors, and they are a direct bolt on.
