Slighty Ricey.... But yea it's your car; Do what you think looks cool. I really dont like the chrome i do think that would be over the top. The black ones wouldnt be bad.

Just my 2 cents

as I said in another thread, why does everyone post threads asking other people to tell them what looks good on their car? If you like them put them on. Most people on here will say they look bad or they arn't their taste. IMO, there is not doubt in my mind that they are completely rice. But again, thats my bias because I hate lots of chrome out of place. Even chrome rims bother me.

I wouldn't especially say they are Ricey. I would just say that they don't look good. A little too flashy or in bad taste. But if you like em put them on. I am about to do something that I know people would flame me for doing.

I am the one selling that set. If you don't have any chrome trim on you car to match these, they can easily be painted to match the body color.

They are okay. Would be better if the LED light bar wasnt there or was smaller.


All the Audi S/RS models come with chrome door mirrors. They look very nice on those models.

Like everyone said the chrome is over the top. I have a friend who has them on his black Altima and they look good but they are black. The chrome ones I have seen didn't look good at all.

i agree with cdg2125, if you like it don't ask if others like it, it's your car do what you want. would look good body colored though. kinda want a pair myself.

I think at some point these were declared 'ricey' by the Upper-Rice Counsel.
In addition, if you put them on, some people will question your sexual orientation.

Personally,I think it would flow better on a black car.

I agree. My boy has a set and only kept them on his i30 for maybe a month then took them off because it didn't go with anything. I just put a set on to the color of my car and they are way better.

So agree and +1 on body color.

just have them repainted to match your body color. Instant Benz-like appeal...
