isn't it already factory tinted? if so, if you tint it more you won't be able to see out at night.

I too certainly like it a litte darker than OEM... and no, it does not affect the operation of the mirror. It will still darken when you have an idiot with their high beams on behind you.

You will, just not as much... and besides, you're not tinting the windshield (which is the window that I usually look though when I drive...), only the sides and and rear.
