black, but then again im partial. i love the way it looks on my car. contrasts nice with the red and it ties in the black of the louvers, head light pockets, and t tops.

black only if you have black stipes/flames/rims/something like that. If its the only black on your car, i dont think it would look as good.

i like my black mirrors guys. seems to be more for the body color ones tho. mine are gloss black as you can see in the pic i posted further up. i dont think they would look goof flat or semi gloss black tho. if your gonna do em black do em gloss black. just my two cents.

i agree - gloss black.

You have black paint on your front bumper which helps bring them out a bit too.

yea the black grill, louvers, and the darkness of the t tops really help to tie in the mirrors. since those pics were taken ive also had the windows tinted. just adds a lil more to the car. the general theme is like red and black. its all black under the hood. its a different look that i really like.
