Mirror Tint

Does anyone have tint on their driver side mirror? If so how much? It gets a little annoying everytime I drive at night with headlights in my eyes, while sitting normal, and when i lean to the right i get hit from the passenger side mirror. lol

I've driven plenty of new cars that already have this from the factory and it's a sweet feature

Discuss

you can't place tint on the mirrors, everything becomes blurry .... the only way to have "tinted" lenses is to buy the glass with tint built in to it and have it custom cut to your car. Rather expensive.

Not to rain on your parade but this sounds really hazardous.

When I get some asshat behind me with his Jesus the messiah HIDs blinding me from my side mirror, I adjust the mirror to shine back at them... Works best on the highway and even better if they are just hanging behind you, in the other lane...

The "floaters" that sit there in your blind spot forever as they try to slowly creep by you suddenly find the gas pedal as soon as my mirror turns towards them...

Good times.

All Cadillacs and high model Chevy's (Silverado, Malibu, Corvettes, etc) have this feature. But for the money that its gonna take to get this feature, i'd rather just re-adjust my mirrors lol

Sounds like a very creative idea. But does sound a bit dangerous

funny this never happens to me at all. mayb its cuz i have my mirrors so far outwards that i have no blind spots.
some people adjust the mirror 2 c the car whn its still behind their car, in my case i still see the ass end of the car whn its almost completely next to me. never gonna have that "u were in my blind spot" excuse.
but as for the tint, will be hard to c, unless mirrors r bought that way
