Little mod on side mirror

They are originally black side mirror, and I decided to make it look better.
I Added some vinyl strip onto the side mirror, try to match the color to the body color
as close as possible.

Here are 2 pic of the result.

It can last few years without changing color, even if it does only will change slightly.

Thanks for all the reply from you guys.
Well, I am working in a sign shop right now so basically I get those vinyl for free , so that is why i plan to do some work with it.
It is free and lot of color of vinyl to choose from why not just play around with it, it matches the car quite well I believe.

I plan to match exterior of the car the black panel between front and back window to the same color of the car also

The back of the rear view mirror is removeable. I got my mirrors color matched for $60 bucks.
