I'm changing my '16 XL Sport a little. I've already swapped the painted bumpers for chrome bumpers. I'll be changing grill as well when I find the chrome grill I'm looking for. In my case I'm leaning more for the chrome mirror caps. What do you think? . . .
Both options have theyre Good and Bad!
I prefer the all Painted look. While the chrome bumpers are more resistant, to rock chips. Where the Painted is not, the grill and mirrors will chip/crack regaurdless.
What matters most, is what you like, and prefer to drive.
This was my 2012 xlt, with chrome package. I added oem hids, a FX4 ptm grill, and chrome mirror caps.
Simply pulled them off, didn't take anything else off, no unscrewing. Simply pry off and push on the new ones.
I will say however i accidentally broke a tab on my old ones when I was pulling them off, but who cares i threw them in the trash anyways, they cost like 20 bucks to replace the original XLT caps.

Need advice, on my way to work my mirror hit a tree branch sticking out from the center median. The branch ended up cracking my mirror's chrome cap.
where is the best place to buy a new cap?
and do I tempt fate and pull the glass off or will prying the old cap off and snapping on the new one work? I don't want to break tabs on the new cap I purchase.
I changed mine to chrome...putco brand...92$ canadian shipped to my door easy job. I didn't remove the glass just pulled the black ones straight out and popped the chrome ones in
I think it's cj pony parts that has a vid showing the swap with out the glass removal
