Chrome Laramie Power Mirrors

[17RedSled]

I just picked up a set of Power Fold with turn signal Laramie mirrors off of a 2014. I had to remove them after 20 minutes of having them installed. I HATE the chrome covers. They are hideous.

Thought i'd be able to pick up a set of painted covers on eBay like they have available for the 5th gens.... but after speaking to my dumb local parts counter salesman who couldn't understand what a mirror cover was..... and then moving to a reputable local forum parts hero: Benny I've discovered it is not a serviceable part and is only sold as a part of the entire mirror assembly .

Before I shell out some cash to get these things painted, what has everyone else done with the hideous chrome?

I did mine just sand down the chrome to take the gloss off it and paint them reseal with clear coat AND get plastic film (clear) and cover

Oh yeah im thinking of doing this! How do these covers come off?

I swapped the housings with a black set off a big Horn/sport. I'm betting any 09-12 per folding outer shell housing will also fit the 13-18's.

It’s very easy actually, just pop off the mirror glass. Behind it you’ll find 3 torches screws, once removed you’ll unplug the turn signal and the chrome covers are off!

The glass can be tricky just YouTube a video on how to replace it and you’ll see just how easy it is.

Grimm, any chance you’d have a link or a part number for those? Maybe point me in a direction to find a pair? Any help is appreciated brother.

There is definitely not a PN for them you can buy seperately. Have to buy another set of mirrors and swap the housings or strip/ paint the chrome.

Anyone try a vinyl wrap on them?
