Default Mirrors

As I was driving home today I came across a shit load of mofo's with their high beams on. Irritated as I was, I starting thinking. If anyone has seen the rear view and driver side mirrors of a Escalade, is there a way to either get or dye your mirrors that type of tint?

Try that link. I have some OBX mirrors with the "turn signal" lights built in. Suck badly, did not come with right plug, OBX doesn't know how to pin out the wiring, the plastic housing is in cream color white and the turn signal lights are glued in. Paint it black and the cream/glue combo comes through. The mirrors are regular too. I had to order M3 mirrors and detach the original and put the M3 blue mirror in. I would not suggest that to anyone, even my enemy. Try the mirrors with the link I attached. They look right. For the rearview mirror I use a broadway. It works well for me.

Okay I've been searching a bit on the net, how come there isn't much stuff out there for an 04 Accord, it's 05 already. I expected there to be atleast a nice assortment of parts for it, but there really isn't.

Well Honda sells accessory auto-dimming rear view mirrors for the 7th gen.

As for the side mirrors, I've been toying around with the idea of buying the already blue tinted 99-03 TL/CL mirror or having a shop tint mine the same blue...I'm not sure if your mirrors are the same shape as the new TLs though.

And I think those M3 mirrors look nasty on big Accords...plus they don't even fold.

is there a way you can tint them yourself? It's sounds pretty easy right now, but if you have to do it a certain way I'd like to know before I look like an ass. Yeah I'm not liking those M3's at all. This is just my daily driver, and them damn high beams are giving me mean ass headaches now.
