I presume the painted parts are just caps and don't need to purchase a entire unit? If so, do you just pry open using a trim panel removal tool? Mine is the 07-09 without side turn signals. I need to remove both.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Hey Ghost,

You actually have to pop off the mirror first then undo the tabs underneath to release the cover.
