Why the heck didn't they...

Paint the mirrors on the newest SEMA Vibe Autocross?

I didn't really care that they weren't painted but instead noticed that they appear to be matte finished instead of slick/glossy.Is that correct Nick or is it just the pictures?Personally I have commented before that the mirror housing finish is one thing they definetly got right on the Vibe. My Aztek has matte finished mirrors and the bug splatter sticks to those much more than on the glossy mirrors on the Vibe. (But then again, maybe that's cause the Aztek is faster and they get hammered on harder! )

The mirrors on the Autocross Vibe were not the same finish as production Vibes.

The lighting at the show made it look like the mirror was infact a different design when it wasn't. To confirm, I checked out my Vibe's mirror and confirmed they are the same when under the same lighting conditions.
