I am thinking of doing it as well but it is too expensive....with installation it will cost you about $2000, when I see the price that is when I decided that I am going to wait on it for while.....

those come painted if that makes you feel better.

I don't see how this would be hard to install. as long as you know how to take off the mirrors (i would assume the door panels have to come off) and if wirings are the same. It should be pretty straight forward.

I am debating... I found a pair off 2008 for $400 plus shipping from a wrecking yard. (sorry I won't tell untill I decided not to do it)

But with another couple hundreds for painting and hours of removing door panels and running wires... not sure if it's worth doing it.

For $2000, you can almost just trade in a 07 for a 08 and break even lol.
