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)

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.
