I think they look ok, but it would suck if they were to fade quickly.

Shawna bought them for her truck, they are SMALL she even said when she first put them on she didnt like them cause of the fact that they are so small, their like 60% or more smaller than stock

Not only are they small, but your visibility is also significantly reduced, due to it being a concave mirror. I have had no fading issues with my black m3 mirrors.
