When you return to your car after a nice day of shopping or sight-seeing, have you ever found those annoying flyers or menus stuck to your windshield? Well, a French company specializing in custom framing has gone one step further with framed side mirrors. In a creative guerrilla marketing stunt, they have decorated side mirrors of unsuspecting vehicles with interesting frames.
In actuality, the framed side mirrors are not really framed, but attached with a piece of paper with a gilded gold frame print using an elastic band. The company's name and address appears on the back along with a caption that reads, "Any picture looks better with a beautiful frame."
I wonder if some of the drivers left their framed side mirrors as is?
