Anyone know if this can be retrofitted? I'm thinking the only pain part would be the side mirrors.

Actually, I think the side mirrors are the easiest part to retrofit. They simply pop off and you can snap on the replacements. I'm not sure what you can do for the chrome rollbars on the back of your MCC.

Here's the link to the DIY/FAQ on replacing side mirror covers.

i think the rollover bars are two part and fix (screw?) together, not sure if they go over the original finish or if the black part comes off some way?

I got the chrome rollover bars added to my MCC after delivery. The black plastic bits come off, then the chrome plastic bits snap back on over that. Not sure how difficult it is to do as I had it done at the dealership while i was sitting inside eating a cookie. It took less than 15 minutes, so it couldnt have been too much trouble.

the only other part of the chrome exterior package i want are the boot hinges.. wonder how hard they are to retrofit..
