I know they only came on a few TA's so goodluck. If you really want the blue tint you could try a tint shop.

My 95 came with them.. Broke my driver side one and replaced it with one from a 2000 Camaro that wasn't tinted. I actually prefer the non-tinted ones after seeing the difference.

I'd imagine that you could find them in the junkyard. The junkyards here pretty much only stock 93-95 3.4's which I've noticed all of them have the blue tinted mirrors. Shouldn't be too hard for you to find.

Here's a picture so you can see what the tint looks like on the 95's

hell my 93 has them...the pass side got smashed and i found one at a local junk yard that was already black for 45 bucks. i love the blue tint, seems like eveything in the mirrors is easier to make out (especially at night)

My 98 Formula has them. It takes some getting used to for sure. I hated them at first, but like them now.

I had them on my 96' Firebird. I was confused why the ones on my 00' Trans Am weren't tinted when I bought it lol.

pretty much any shop that carries glass will have a tint like this, just take them the shape you need and they can cut it for you.

I think one year did have them. I know not all of them got the blue tint. I remember when I bought my TA thinking what is the deal with this blue tint. I figured the previous owner put it on there. I liked it later.

From what I have read only a few early 99s had them, my WS6 formula has them, and it was delivered in November in 98.

I've always wanted a blue set for my firebird. They look badass IMO.
