Anyone ever tint their side mirrors?
The glare at night is rough, every car is taller and their headlights flash right into the side mirrors, thats why I did the rear view mirror upgrade.

The 04 has the electrochromatic mirrors. Nice option if you have it.

That is what worries me, but still may have to get the windows tinted, as it gets really hot here in South Florida!

I haven't, but as you say, the glare sure is a problem.
You could do it yourself for almost nothing, then take it off if it doesn't work.

It would be pretty easy to do and should solve your problem. If you don't like it, you can remove it.

Try some of the static cling stuff they make for rear truck windows first. If you don't like that, just pull it off. If you do like it, then I would tint it for real. My $0.02.

Only on the inside and driver's side. I have no idea why they didn't do it on the passenger side. $?
