    I dont like the sun visors in the festiva, I was thinking of doing something I saw down in cuba, festiva had the top foot of his windshield tinted black. no more bending awkwardly to see the green lights under the visor

      ^^ try driving a Miata lol. Even without the visors (they were removed by a previous owner, saved me the trouble ) I still have to either lean down or lean back and look OVER windshield out the top lol.
      No festiva for me ATM...

        They won't allow you to do one foot in the US. There's a mark on the windshield that the tint place can't go below, which I believe is six inches. Different states may have different laws concerning that as well. I know some states won't allow you to tint your windshield at all.

          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            Tinting sounds like a great idea.
            I might do that on my Festiva.

                Rear view mirrors that are attached to the glass have their base glued on with special adhesive. Once that has cured, the mirror is slid into the slot and screwed just enough so that it doesn't wobble.

                Has anyone considered a dash mount mirror?

                    No I dont think it would be a smart idea, what if you were to haul something in your Festiva?
