Default street scene mirrors or painted factory mirrors??

Just trying to decide on a mirror change for my 04 silvy. I have the factory sport mirrors and cant decide on painting the caps on the factory mirrors or getting the street scene/cal vues and painting them white. Any suggestions or PICS are appreciated

Post a pic of your truck, and I'll give my opinion of what I think will look better on it.

SS, always liked those. I think the factory mirrors are just to big, esp on a lowered truck.

I run the SS mirrors on my own truck, but some trucks look better with the stockers, IMO.

I still have the stockers on mine.... I love the look of the sport mirrors, but I can't give up the functionality of the stockers. I just don't like looking in a little mirror.

I've had SS mirrors on both my trucks, and it took a little getting used to with the smaller mirrors but now I don't notice it at all. and it looks WAYYY better on the trucks.

heres a few pics of mine. I bought a set of street scenes already but have seen a few trucks that didnt look bad with factory mirrors with painted caps. Can you guys post some pics of your setups?
