tinting mirrors?
Hey, I had an idea to tint the blinkers on the mirrors, since my car is tinted pretty dark all around. I think it would look good. Worst case scenario, I take it off.

Now, I was thinking to buy some sort of see-through tint and warping it myself. Any ideas? Is it doable? Has anyone done this before?

Try using tint film since the shape of the light isnt too awkward. Worst comes to worst you can remove it

Was thinking to tint just the lens in the mirror. What film doI need and where to get?

Here are some pics of mine, tint is from stickercity.com pretty easy to apply and looks good, can be taken off at any time.
