Can these be used on a 2003 Chevy Tahoe LT with body color painted electric mirrors? I am concerned they will scratch my paint on the mirrors.

Yes! I used them on my 2003 Tahoe Z71 and they worked great. The inside has a soft rectangular block that will prevent plastic on paint.

I have a 2004 GMC Yukon with body color painted electric mirrors and I use these CIPA custom mirrors only when towing my travel trailer. So, I have installed them and taken them off numerous times with no scratches on the painted surfaces of the vehicle's mirrors.

I have used mine half a dozen times over chromed capped mirrors with no scratches. Contact points are padded.

No. They are flat black. But GREAT mirrors. I'm sure they sell them in gloss. Good luck.

They fit nice on my 1999, I put 3 self tapping screws in each one, just to back up the double sided tape, I don't know if they can be painted, but Im sure with the right primer, My truck is Maroon, I left them black, looks like a factory 2500

Yes they will. I found that they fit very tight, so let them warm up in the sun so they snap in easily otherwise the tabs may break. On in mine did break but they still snap in. They do mount well though and fit the mirror and vehicle profile with minimal vibration.

Sorry but they will not. These covers use 3M strips to stick to original outer shell of mirror.

I think they fit very nicely - you will need to put a couple screws in the underneath (wheel well) to better secure them- i was skeptical but very satisfied with them - i put them on my 2000 silverado ext cab- I did not paint mine but it's my understanding you can

No, have used on several vehicles and have not had any scratches. Did lose a mirror once in the rain on an interstate because I did not recheck the tension. Do this at every gas stop. Usually not a problem but water or temps might change the tension.

No. Both my mirrors and one of the mounting brackets were stolen off of my tahoe. I had to buy an entirely new motor from GM just to replace the missing bracket.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it should? I know the 1500 Silverados like mine changed their design in 2004, but the Tahoes & Suburbans did not change their design until 2007. My one son has a 2006 LT, Z/71 Tahoe & his side mirrors look identical to mine in shape & size, but he has two more options in his mirrors, with the self adjusting brightness to help with headlights on a vehicle behind you not to blind you when driving (which I only have on my interior rear view mirror) & his also has the built in turn signals. Amazon does have a vehicle check when ordering from their Auto section. All you need to do is enter in your info in the drop down boxes/windows which are the Year, Make, Model & sometimes they ask for the trim package (LE, LT, Z/71, etc.). If it is the same mirror, I'm very happy with it. You can also order the entire mirror assembly on Amazon. I prefered to keep my original mirror housing so that it did not look like a new chrome mirror on one side & a old one with it's imperfections on the other side, plus my motor & mirror heating element connections were working fine on my existing housing. If you have the painted mirror hosing like a lot of the Suburbans & Tahoes did, with replacing the mirror only saves you the cost of getting a new housing professionally painted or the cost & time of a can of factory matched paint if you are going to repaint it yourself & taking off the appropriate interior door panel to remove the side view mirror. The best of luck with your project.

I used these in my 2003 Silverado and they worked great. I think the Yukon used the same ones; in fact I think GM used these in a lot of their vehicles for several years. It was one of GM's more miserable times; they really turned out some bad stuff that needs to be replaced. You need to know how to de-solder the old ones and solder the new ones. Be sure to mark your zero points before taking them apart or you will be fiddling with the new ones to get them calibrated.

I'm pretty sure they will not. I own a body shop and pretty familiar with the trucks and Suburbans of those generations. The shape of the door is different enough to not fit. These mirrors are fantastic for trailer pulling and know why you would like to use them.

I put them on a Tahoe. It worked fine but I have a different she that is all red not smoke. I like them better . The smoke is half bake and half signal light . My red ones work together.. they are still bringht and look good.

I am sure you could replace the non powered mirrors with these but I wouldn't want to try to make them powered at that point. These plugged right into the same harness my factory mirrors used but if the power source isn't there to begin with........ I would start with a different truck.

Since the paint is designed to cover black factory calipers, I would think that they would cover any color just fine. I would rough up the existing paint with a wire brush or sand paper to make sure that you get proper adhesion.

I have used one on a car without heated mirrors, these are good non oem mirrors.

I put these on a 2002 Suburban 1500, which should have the same mirrors. They seemed to work very well, and didn't seem to vibrate any more than the stock mirrors. That being said, I have a friend who uses the "old school" metal strap on sets (similar to the Cipa Door Mount Towing Mirrors #11650) and they definitely work better (less vibration, larger mirror). These do go on tight so I usually use a large flat blade screwdriver to aid in getting the bottom to snap into place. These are much better then the rubber strap on style (similar to the Cipa clip on towing mirror #11950) which I used to own, and wasn't happy with (vibrated horribly).

Yes, I used them on my bathroom mirror. They look great and wiping it off is not a problem for me.
