I saw a few montes around here and I always wondered why the mirrors where black, matching it up looks way better
It's unpainted, black plastic AKA GM cheaping out.

I might paint mine too, but I'd go with black. It blends with the black area of the windows so well on mine.

I do like how that turned out though, I think it looks great on most Montes.

I had the mirrors on both of my Montes painted red to match. It's something that really adds to the car (and is a very cheap visual upgrade as well). Congrats, they look great!

cmeadows,
How much did having your mirrors painted cost you? If you don't mind me asking.

I got them painted for around $50, but I'm familiar with the guys that did it and they get a good amount of business from me and my family. I think it's well worth any amount to get them to match though!

Yeah, I kind of want mine painted black. Instead of the dullish black plastic.
