Default Tinted side view mirrors?

Alright, now I'm wondering if anyone has found blue tinted side view mirrors, similar to the higher end european car types? I have talked to a local tint shop about a 50% blue on mine, but have been forwarned tht scratches will be a big problem with the external tint. Anyone have any leads on this?

Thanks in advance! Diesel

Can you send me a pic? I am talking about the factory blue tint on the mirror itself. I see it on M5's, my Audi has it....most of the high end European Cars. I think it's to cut glare in the mirror, but like the Gentex rearview mirror mod, this one adds a touch of class to our muscle cars....it's a welcome addition to me!

i looked into doing this mod last fall, but never followed through with it. anyway i did some asking around and found a guy that had done the same mod and here are the part numbers that he gave me (L) 10279515 (R)10279516.(he said that these are the mubers he used in canada so they might be different here) be warned if you ordered these you might get the standard mirrors. i would do some more checking before ordering them. let me know what you end up doing because i am still interested in doing this.

(R) 10279516

But dude they make a heck of a difference! specially at night time...well worth the money.

Let us know when you get them as I'm intrested in them also. I've always thought that Auto Dimming outside rear view mirrors would be awesome and go along with my Gentex great.

anyone have a pic of these tinted mirrors? sounds like a good idea to cut down on glare from trucks driving behind you with their high beams on

Sorry, Dustin I cancelled the order and decided to do more research before I order a set of stock non-tinted mirrors. I'll let you all know what I find.
