I had mine painted. They aren't caps.
They come off pretty easily. Any body shop should be able to paint them for you.

photoshop fun
i wanted to see what your car would look like with black but without the stickers, so i played with the photoshop for a while. i think the black mirrors look pretty good. maybe just a little rice on a non-sponsored car, but i would consider it. i really like the RS4 mirror on darker cars, especially the blue, but i don't think it's noticeable enough on light silver. once i get the chance to take some really HQ pics of my car i'll post some other altered shots.

Nice job - here's some extra pics

The RS4 mirror definitely looks nice on darker colored cars (especially blue and daytona)
