Black side mirror covers?

Do any of you know how the hyperblue BRZ's mirrors are black? is it painted black from the factory or are they mirror covers?

Im going to design my car around the Hyperblue series where they make some trim parts black but glossy so that it looks meaner but still premium at the same time.

I found the gloss black rear emblems and oem black side vent covers already but still looking for options for the mirror. (really dont want CF)

Let me know!

Thank you!

Looks like they are painted.
So if you want to spend the money have them painted.
If you want to cheap out or "test drive" the color plasti-dip them. If you don't like or want it permanent it's easily peels.

I thought these are sold unpainted from Subaru? If there is a painted version, do you happen to know the part numbers?
