Only if you call a black plastic housing "decent looking."

Although, you could take the mirror apart, smooth the housing, then paint it a nice aluminum, titanium, or charcoal color. Hmm... maybe that's what I'll do with mine, now that I think of it...

Bill, you have the original Cutlass mirror with the map light correct? Does it mount to the glass or the windshield frame?

The original mounts to the windshield frame, but I think I'm going to use a more modern unit and simply paint it.
