Well here she is. Black on black s-line, convenience package. Love this car so far.

Question, i'm thinking about tinting the car and putting s4 side mirrors on cuz they look nice. But will the exterior and interior auto dimming feature be affected in any way. Obviously it will dim the car with the tint but what about if someone flashes you from behind will the auto dimming feature still work? It works pretty well right now and i'm worried that this feature will not work anymore. Also, will I still be able to adjust the mirrors electronically and use the fold in mirror feature if I change the mirrors?

The only affect the tinting has with your auto-dimming is that it will be kinda harder to see out depending on how dark you go. The auto-dimming will still work if someone flashes you unless you turn the feature off (button on mirror), but with my experience i have limo all-around and it does take some time getting used to. The s4 replacement is only a cover, not the whole mirror setup itself which means that you will still have the fold in feature and power capabilities. Hope that helps you out.

Don't worry about the auto dimming feature it will work just fine, as for the mirrors eLusive is right.

Nice looking car. why would someone flash you from behind? Does this happen a lot in Canada?

I've got 15% Llumar tint all the way around on mine, and my mirror stays in the night mode, so it's actually brighter out of my mirror than the car! Don't worry, it'll be fine.

i believe people flash when they are behind you and would like you to move over so that they can go around you.

That or your rear fogs are on, but overtaking is usually the main reason
