Its ALOT brighter if you sandblast through that orange covering on the back so its just a fogged glass.

I agree about them looking to boxy for me anyway, but if you like it that's awesome anything that will make you stand out and I think once they are black it will mesh well.
I would definitely consider having SS etched in my mirrors but wouldn't know the first thing about wiring it properly or even how to get the SS done.
