    "Objects in mirror" text - will it scrape off?

    I just got a new set of side mirrors for my car, since my housings are a little beat up and my glass is shit. I was wondering, for a cleaner look, will the text that reads "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" scrape off with a straight razor blade? It appears to just be paint, and I'm just curious if anyone has ever attempted it.

    I do beleive that it is etched into the glass. I have thought about doing the same thing, but never looked that close. Beleive it is etched though.

      My brother got rid of the lettering on his mirrors.
      Just pop out the mirrors and install a spare driverside mirror into the passenger side so it won't have the words on it.

        I might have to do that, looks like the lettering on this set of mirrors is actually behind the glass, or that's what it looks like.

              I did know that, and that's pretty much why I wanted to do it. I thought about trying to get one from overseas.

                You could go Über Euro and delete the passenger side mirror altogether.

                          That would be unique.... I'm sure Germans laugh as we put "euro" chrome bumpers in our cars. Those guys paint their bumpers other colors, they do anything to get rid of the stock chrome bumper.

                            I would love to mount a set of body colored euro bumpers.

                              I wonder if anyone has really vested time to parting cars and selling the parts over there, like Mike does for us. Business opportunity anyone? Haha, keep us posted on what you do Josh, I have been thinking about the mirror a lot too.
