Default I just read that link....

And it was more intensive than what I just did to my car 2 days ago. For the most part it was the same, but I didn't need to remove the inner screws and everything popped out and back into place w/out any problems. First side took about 10 min because I was taking my time since I had never taken the mirro housing off or lens off. Second side literally took a few minutes.

This auction is for chrome, but if you email him he can substitute matte finish for you. The shipping was VERY fast, only took a few days from europe.

Beware. The satin are said to peel off in cold weather climates.
