[s-cars] Mirror fitment for 1995 S6

[Elvis Palombizio]

Igor,
   How has the paint held up for you?? How about
getting the plastic mirror caps themselves chrome
dipped. I was worried that if I had the mirrors chrome
dipped, it wouldn't be long before they were shot
because of my excessive highway driving in NE.

What do you think??

Thanks in advancE!!
