Yay or Nay - Black Mirrors, White Supra

[RedPhoenix]

I have a Pearl White Supra.... Never noticed, but I replaced the lighting where I park and now I can see it... My driver mirror is a different white and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

What would black mirrors look like on a white car? I know I cannot get the same paint match on both my mirrors, unless I repaint it all.

if you park on a busy street, then having them stand out is a good thing..

but since the Supra's mirrors dip down into the door and cut the molding, black mirrors would definitely look out-of-place on a non-black car..



also, are you going with JDM mirrors, Euro mirrors, pre 89's, or 89+'s..?

if the top of your car was black and the rest was pearl white it would look pretty clean i think...post a pic of how it looks...

i been thinking the same thing. i also have a set of 88 and 89 mirrors and i like the smaller look of the 88's and was thinking of painting them black. i think it would look good.

sean's car is yellow, and he has black mirrors and a black hood. i think it looks good. it was an idea he had after seeing one of the pennzoil race cars (skyline i think)

I had black pre89 mirrors on my white supra. Wasnt really feeling it, but they were temporary til I got a set of white mirrors. I'll post up pics in a few min.

Is the OP's body line white also? It looks pretty good on that car^

it might not look so good if his car doesn't have a black body line.

Cheap cars don't come with color matched side mirrors.

I planned on finishing with black moldings (missing a few since I bought the car)... its also pearl white. if I can find the paint cheap, I should probably just respray it, but the tri-coat is not too budget minded. I will have black left over from my engine bay respray, so its a reason I gave it any thought.

 

[hvyman]

nay. black mirrors look out of place on a white mirrors.

This^^

nay the black mirrors odnt do it justice unless maybe like the hood was black with the moldings smoked out tailights

IMO I really like the contrasting colors. White/Black is my favorite. My brother's 93 Maxima is white, and has a black hood, moldings, trunk, mirrors, '97 Maxima Wheels, and even the gas door.
I just think it looks cool. The only other car I saw that pulled that look off is ProjectSupra. He's on here.

 

[gelboy1015]

RedPhoenix, what rims are those on your supra? the OEM crown victorias?

 

[JCFsupraman]

Yay but only if you have black molding and a black cf hood and tinted windows, black A pillar and black targa.
Now that contrast would look good.

missmatched color body panels = looks like you have a POS

The exception is carbon fiber, and even then it looks a bit goofy.

A local friend of mine has a white '91 MKIII. His hood, headlight covers, targa top, hatch, and mirrors are all a glossy black. His car looks very HOTTTT!!!!!!! His moldings are white and his rims are a five star black with a chrome lip. I wouldn't change anything about his car. He paints autos for a living so it looks really good.

well, here's a fast chop..

you can go from there..
