yup mirror caps!
sanded em and sprayed em and cleared em. used the duplicolor paint. as far as i can tell right now (havent seen them in daylight yet) the match is about spot on. the only thing is the metal flake in the stock paint is way more intense then the duplicolor. but no biggie.

and as for the manifolds, i think im just gonna spray em with some flat black engine enamel. that **** seems to stick well to caked on dirt hahaha

newer rangers dont have drivers side inner fenders .

Id just paint them or i believe you can buy a passenger side inner fender and it will work on the drivers side.

Just one of the many cutback Ford has done to the Rangers over the years.



As for the original post.....
Body coloured mirrors are the way to go!!! Chrome don't get'cha home.

nice! yeah it makes a huge difference. i just went and checked em out in the daylight and they look real good! the only difference is the metal flake in the paint. but thats hardly noticeable! eventually i was thiking about sanding down the plastic itself and spraying that with a nice black to make them look better..
