Which looks better?
So after seeing MarbleGT's MX-5 with the blacked out A Pillar I decided to get that done. I'm also contemplating doing the mirrors as well. Which do you guys think looks better? (sorry for the crappy 5 minute photoshop in advance)



A Pillar and mirrors or...




just the A Pillar.

If top were black, I'd say mirrors also, but with tan top, pillar only.

Pillar

Doing the mirrors black reminds me of those cheap base model cars where the bumper, mirrors and door handles are a different color than the car.... just doesn't look right to me.

Tough call with that brown top....If I had enough, I'd plastidip a mirror so you could see what it looks like.

I really like the way mine looks with the A-Pillar done...esp with the top down.

Pillar only.

If you had a black top, I would have voted for the mirrors too. With a brown top they would look

I went with just the pillar. After thinking it over doing both did seem like it would be too much and most of you guys agree. It looks stock which I love, had my brother check out the car earlier and he had no idea what I had done until I told him.








Sorry for the bad pic, its rainy and overcast today.

I think the black mirrors look like someone was in an accident and didn't bother to paint the mirrors the correct color.

Mazda did that and called it a "special edition."
