Looking for opinions - Stainless/Chrome Door Mirrors

I recently broke the door mirror off the driver side of my 1/25 model so I thought it was time to add a second mirror to the passenger side like the real truck. The new mirrors look kind of goofy because the length and angle is not correct:



Before I had a chance to paint them black my wife saw the model and thought I should add chrome mirrors to the real truck. She thought it tied in nicely with the spotlights and windshield trim. I’m not sure if the extra shiny stuff would be an improvement or one thing too many.

Here’s what the real truck looks like with black mirrors:



What do you think? I’d appreciate any/all opinions - for or against.

Also – has anyone recently purchased chrome round mirror heads from Chevy Duty/Classic Parts (or anywhere else). Their catalog and web page only shows the face of the mirror (the glass). If I end up buying chrome mirrors I’d like to know what the back looks like first.

Thanks!
