Default Fixed the stupid mirror glare

Picked up a 2015 last week and the glare from the ac/heat vent chrome

rings in the outside mirrors has been driving me nuts. Took em off and apart tonight and did a 3m carbon wrap on the rings. World of difference now

That looks great. I have the same issue with the glare, but so far have tried to ignore it. Do the vents pull/snap straight out?

The glare I get is from the ambient lighting. I love the light but hate the glare on the passenger window.

Yeh FX4MN, how do they come out and what color did you use.....I have brunello so might have to go with a brown hue, but looks good.....can you include a shot of the whole dash to see how it blends.....thanks....

Most of my glare comes from the trim ring around my shifter.
