Anyone know if GM makes power folding side mirrors in the basic black pebble finish or are they all chrome/paint-to-match? Looking to retrofit a Tahoe to have the power folding option but I want the mirrors to be black. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

The chrome cap is on the LTZ. The LS and LT models have a body color cap. You can remove the cap and paint it.

Howdy. I'm referring to the basic black pebble finish shown below. I believe these come on the more basic trim packages, including the PPV.



I'm wondering if GM makes a power folding mirror in this basic finish.

If not, can anyone tell me what the paint-to-match mirrors look like with the paintable cap removed? Good or bad? If they don't look right with the cap removed, I may just have the whole mirror coated with black spray-on bedliner.

The Esky comes w/ the chrome cap on the bottom. I guess you could get those and paint them along w/ the LTZ upper chrome caps. Probably a little pricy.

They come in basic black but it is a smooth finish. I just had to replace one that quit folding. Was $230 plus $99. My original was painted on top so I had them use the old top. I'm still stripping the old mirror apart to find reason for failure. A child could strip this down with a 8 lb sledge hammer! And a china man probably snaps the plastic parts together with his hands...

Guys... Are the top parts of the mirrors (the caps) interchangeable? If so, I should be able to just swap the rough textured black caps from the manual folding mirrors with the chrome caps on the power folding mirrors, right?

JimJ

I believe you are correct.

Or you could get the Putco chrome cap that covers the whole mirror. Saves time.

Except for the fact I already said I do not want chrome.

Sorry I misunderstood your post #6. What you want is the whole mirror w/ the black, grained finish, I think.
