Side-View Mirror Tint
Hey,
As we all know, our G35 Coupes have an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, but our side (or side-view) mirrors do not have that auto-dimming feature. My eyes are sensitive, and before getting my car, I predicted I would have a problem when driving at night with this car, due to the lack of auto-dimming side-view mirrors. And I do most of my driving at night, so this is a problem for me. My resolution to this problem is to tint the side-view mirrors...does anybody have any links or companies or info on anybody who can do this? I will buy a do-it-yourself kit online if need be, I just want my side-view mirrors tinted !! Thanks very much, everyone.

Re: Side-View Mirror Tint
well you can try to go to any tint shop, get the lightest or second lightist tint on there. I hope the tint can stick on the mirror...glass and mirrors have different textures, glass is very course whereas a mirror is very fine, so it might be tougher to get the tint to adhere properly

Yeah, I know there is a difference. Some places do this and some don't. I haven't checked with my local tint shop, but I'm going to tomorrow. If they can't do it (which I don't think they can), I want to maybe purchase a do-it-yourself kit online somewhere and just get it done.

Re: Side-View Mirror Tint
hey i just remembered, over here in michigan we have a large retailer store called Meijers (equivalent of Super Kmart or that type of large "everything" store). They have do-it-yourself tint kits, they come in different colors too, blue would look real sharp [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Side-View Mirror Tint
Normal tint is on the inside of the windows. So even if you were to tint your side-views, I would think they would get damaged pretty quickly just being exposed to all the outdoor elements.

Re: Side-View Mirror Tint
Does anybody have auto-dimmer SIDE VIEW mirrors? I have never seen that or even heard of that. I know they make them heated, but auto-dimming?
Anyway, why not go out and buy a cheap roll of windown tint film and cut it to fit your mirrors? If it stays on great... if not, you're only out a few bucks for the tint.
