Default The Elusive Beast!

Lol...I'm trying to find some freaking mirror caps! I have a 04 silverado with all black mirrors. I'm looking for the prepainted caps or the black smooth ones that can be painted! I can find those ugly *** chrome ones all day! They are probably in the same place that damn elusive Bigfoot is hiding...lol! Better call BFRO on tv and get them to find me some...lmao!
Seriously though can someone point me in the right direction?

You should be able to order them from a dealer for any escalade or Denali. Just get a vin from eBay or autotrader. Idk if they'll come painted or not. When I ordered my painted handles they were for a arrival blue ss cause the trucks had the pass key hole and they came painted blue already. Hope that helps.

hey, if you already have some textured black mirror caps you don't want would you be looking to sell them? Let me know, I'm looking for a set.

Hey man, I'd appreciate that! I'd definitely cover shipping, just let me know when you get them off, try not to break any tabs, haha.

And I heard you an take a razorblade to tye back of the chrome ones, and once the chrome is cut you can peel it off and you'e basically left with a paintable cap. I was going o try this with my grill in the near future too. Just takes a lot of work peeling. A guy on gmfs did it...
