tinting mirror's

PoopcornPoppers · January 15, 2014

okay so I had 15% on my front doors for the past 6 or 7 months and never got bothered by the cops, until about 3 weeks ago. I got pulled over for having my windows illegally tinted (we're not allowed any film on the front doors). after the first one I was like okay its only once it was bound to happen a 57$ ticket isn't going to kill me. but, two weeks later I got another one, so I thought it was a sign to peel it. I peeled it yesterday and driving last night drove me nuts. lights behind me blinding me and everything. so I'm trying to figure out an alternative without getting harassed by cops, and thought that possibly tinting my exterior mirrors would help a little bit. I have my drivers mirror folded in and that helped a little bit but yea I don't know. or let my car cool off for a couple months and redo my doors or what. kind of torn on what to do.
if anyone has some input that be sweet

I've tried it. It got darker than I expected because the light has to go through it twice before it reaches you, so even a light film made it pretty dark. The reflection seemed a little distorted too.

I have a few customers that has had me tint their mirrors in either a blue or yellow vinyl ( same as for head/taillights) and they swear that it cuts the glare down...It must work pretty good they send me people just to do their mirrors. :dunno

vinyl? wouldn't that make it so you cannot see through it?

i used a saphire blue 50% on a few side mirrors. Pretty light and could help you. held up pretty well.

if your mirrors are not plastic then slap a piece on there and try it....35% or lighter though for sure.

I have 50% with a PPF cover sheet to protect the SRC from flaking. It is a little distorted but love the way it cuts headlight glare at night. Oh and they are plastic; sure gonna be fun come time to R & R.
