Vinyl to Check Side Mirror Caps?

Does anybody know if the vinyl vendors have put the check pattern on side mirror caps?

I'm not sure but it wouldn't be to hard to do. just print the pattern. and wrap it. I did vehicle wraps for 4 years and i know that wouldn't be a hard job. the hardest part would be matching up both caps because depending on what material your using you may have to stretch it to get around the mirror. but yeah I dont see why nobody offers that..
I bought the painted mirrors and they faded in two months. now the checkers on top are a weird green color...

Someone on here did it themselves in their garage. They used plastic wrap to get the design right and then cut it out in vinyl. Didn't seem very hard at all.

Wow, where do you live? Are you talking about the OEM checkered mirror covers? I live in Florida and have had them on for the a year and they look the same as when I put them on. I hit them with Hydro after every wash.
