my 96 has them. I haven't noticed them being the **** or anything. For example if a truck is behind me at a stop light, they don't really kill any glare or anything, that would make me be like, "Woah, these mirrors are the ****!". I'm still blinded by the damn truck.

I have 5% on fronts and still can get blinded at night, if it helps a little would be nice... I'm not sure how well they will look on a black ws6 but ill at least install them and see. If i don't like them ill just send them back. Appreciate all the comments. Was more or less wondering why they put them on the older years and not the newer being that the higher end euro cars tend to have them like the audis. Figured gm just wanted to cut a little cost or something.

Honestly the reason I want it is for when I go to the track. I am a full weight car and drive my car to/from the track and change tires there. Baby 226 cam etc etc etc.. You get the point. I am shooting for 6s here pretty soon and I would LOVE to add that I have heated mirrors to my list!
Sounds kind of dumb I guess but I think it is pretty cool.

honestly, i think you're gonna be dissapointed if you're getting the blue mirrors for looks, or for any other benefits. this is something NOBODY will notice, except the person driving the car, since you're forced to constantly look at them. just looking at the car though, you don't notice them at all. i go back and forth between which car i drive, and i never even really notices the blue hue of the T/A's mirrors. i just got done washing the car this mornig, and didn't even notice the blue again until i was washing them

Ahhh... I had people about once a month that would notice them. At car shows and stuff people pay more attention.
It is the small things that add up.

well yeah, i guess at car shows when people are trying to notice the little things. i see your point 100%. but in a general sense, pretty pointless to buy in my opinion. i don't dislike mine, i just wouldn't spend money to get them if i didnt already have them.

I have them on my 98 Formula. Drivers side has been broken twice and luckily I was able to source another blue tinted each time from here. I like them.

If anyone is really interested in a set, I have some black Trans Am mirrors that have this on it. A friend bought them a while back to put them on my car but it never happened.

PM me a fair offer...
