Once I get the truck cleaned up I'll take a few pictures. Because my truck is black on black the pictures do not do it justice. The tuxedo black really lights up under the sunlight in person.

I think the magnetic and white trucks would look really good with the body coloured caps as well. Do you have chrome caps currently?

These caps are surprisingly easy to get off. Unlike the standard mirror caps. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes a side.

Adjust your mirror glass to the center and facing all the way down.
You'll be able to see there's two clips at the top and one clip on the outer side.
Unload those clips with a flat head screw driver and pry off gently, Without pulling the cap off fully. There's one different clip at the bottom~center of the cap. While pulling the cap gently you should be able to see this clip. Slide a small flathead in beside the clip to unload and you should be off. 4 clips in total.

Yea, I added the chrome ones. It made a huge improvement over the black plastic, but I think body colored would look nice too.

Before and after...

I thought the lariat's came stock with the chrome caps, no? Regardless, it looks way better with the chrome caps than the black plastic, that's for sure!

I think only KR and platinum come with chrome caps.

Just painted mine as well. Not a huge difference since it went from chrome to silver, but I like them.

Looks good! Did you paint them yourself? Looks slightly matte beside the truck. Could just be the angle..
