it works very well on all glare, but it has to be a specific transparent film.

Nice tint, I love my blue mirrors. However, someone needs a new Digital camera. Kind of pixely.

sorry to the 02 people, but this blue is so much better than the stock tint. the stock tint is barely blue at all. mine might be too blue. the tint is fine with the heater, no problems there. i got my tint for free, but they said 40 for anyone who comes in and says TL board.

Can you post the type and brand of the tint for those of us who don't live in the area but would also like to have those tight mirrors?
Thanks,
Peter.

Question blue tint

If your windows are tinted, can you tell there is a difference with the blue tint on the side mirrors?

To keep the site running the administrators have kept it free to all members for most functions. Those that use up the bandwitdh must pay. It works out for me becuase I get so much info from this site and my membership gets me a discount since I am doing a lot of mods. You can read up about it at the 1st posts in the TL discussion.

I've been looking to do that for a very long time! How does the tint hold up against the outdoor weather? Will it peel over time? What about scratches? My stock mirrors already have a ****load of scratches on them, it's hideous

How did they tell you to clean them. Do you just wash like normak or is there a special spray

I want to ship my mirrors to them to tint and then send back. What is the address and phone number of this shop, I am tired of trucks blinding me.
