depends on if you are gonna match the rest of your mods. if you get a black front lip, black wheels, etc.. then re-paint them black. but painting them red would be the cleaner look. just depends on the style you are going for.

Amemiya 1 Aero Mirrows look like this : (1st 3 picts) You know I like to customize so I had cameras with night vision leds incorporated in the mirrows, however, I had to sacrifice my mirrow motors, But,,, the camera lens , picks up a wide angle views , so, it makes up for it. Now I could see my blind spots left and right side of my car. You can buy the smaller cameras, to fit , so that you do not have to sacrifice the mirrow motors, but I think you end up sacrificing the picture quality, also a swich to turn on and off the two 2" monitors manually. Mind you this is more for show.

They are often incorrectly called Amemiya mirrors. I can't remember the brand name for the life of me :\

^ Not to be rude, but I disagree. I'm 100% positive they're aftermarket mirrors, not custom.

Those deff aren't custom S5 mirrors. I'd sell them and get some S4 TII mirrors because they look so damn good!

^kits like that remind me of either Starship Interprise or a cowcatcher on the front of a train. Definitely nothing I'd do to my car, but I can appreciate the work put into it
