Default Black rear view mirrors

I would like to change my yellow mirrors to black w/out painting them. Any suggestions.

Just wrap'em.
Wraps now-a-days a pretty high quality, looks stock/factory, and the item or part can be undone/transformed back to the state before they were wrapped.

I've worked in body shops for 15+ years...... You pay $400 for a shop to paint your mirrors and you're getting ripped off in a major way <- no offense to lowwhite

Saw some carbon fiber "looking" mirrors on this site.

Anyone have a handle on those ? Are they from the Centennial ?

How much do you think it is to have them wrapped???
Would they still have to be taken off of the car??
If I go through the trouble of removing them, then I probably
would just have them painted.

Called two vinyl shops and get the "bring it in and we will
look at it answer". Then they can charge me the corvette tax I guess.
Just want to have an idea before I take it in of what would be a fair price.

Couldn't say since I don't do wraps. Just known people who've had their entire cars wrapped for around $1500, so to do two tiny little mirrors couldn't be much

The Corvette tax generally refers to specialty items that are specific to a Corvette. All we're talking about here is a little vinyl wrap to put on two mirrors. A corvette tax shouldn't come into play in this scenario
