Dude, get the whole thing painted! Here is a good writeup on how to take them apart. If you go in with these "pieces" to a painter, I bet you could do it pretty reasonably.

You can buy select color-matched caps from the dealer. I think only white, red, and pewter. Maybe you could buy some white ones and them have them re-painted to your Arrival Blue? Or have your textured caps smoothed and painted by a reputable painter.

Yeah I stopped by the dealer to buy differential additive and a rear end cover gasket and asked about mirror caps and they said I have to buy all new mirrors that they don't make anything for my type of mirrors that didn't come with caps. Does anyone have part #s? Thanks.

I finally found a website that offers paintable ones for $30. I'm not sure how much the dealer would charge for the "stock" black textured ones, but probably at least this much. pm me for the link.

I'll try and look for part #'s tomorrow. I bought a set of textured caps from SCIV, who bought some paint-matched white ones from the dealer. He left the paper work in the box he used to ship them to me.
