Anyone purchase these mirrors or handles that the Bronco parts retailers started carrying recently? Would like to request some up close pics of them installed on your rig if anyone has bought these. PM me plz if you have.

I actually just bought the "satin black" side view mirrors. I had powder coated my door handles a satin black already and I figured they would be close enough in color. Got them in the mail 2 days ago and they are more of a flat black (matte type finish). I can send a close up of them to you tomorrow if you would like.

That would be great if you are willing to take the time. Can you take a pic of the door handles too, especially if they are installed already.
Thanks much.

I'll get pics tomorrow. I had my handles powder coated myself, they are not the ones from the vendors. The mirrors are, though. That's why there is the difference. I'll take pics of both for you to see.

Here are some pictures of the handles I had powder coated here in town next to the "satin black" mirrors from the vendors. Not sure if these pictures work for you. If not, let me know and I'll try an get some better ones.

Hey thanks for posting those pics. I definitely like the look of the handles better, they have a little more shine to them. Are the mirrors really as matte looking as in the pics or do they have a fair bit of shine to them?

Is that the "Black Chrome" handle or the satin finish? And hey I live in West Seattle, good to see another Bronco owner hiding in the city :eek:

Likin'' that Bronco. I'm shooting for a similar look but starting out with polished aluminum wheels (lack of commitment).

That is the satin finish. The flash may have made it look more shiny.

I love West Seattle. Great views from the golf course. Not sure if you are on NW Classic Broncos but some guys are talking about a North end meet and greet soon. I am around Greenlake.
