I'm going to preface this as an opinion only, because I'm not entirely sure...

But, I believe that gen has the option of painted handles and mirrors or black plastic. I don't think there was another option unless it was dealer or PO installed.

So I believe they are just covers and the original parts would then be black painted or black plastic. Again, I'm not sure, so if you go prying with a hunting knife and destroy your parts, please don't come at me with that knife!
