mirror is too bling plus it reflects sun and light into others eyes too much.......go with the black/dark tint instead.......

Mirror tint reminds me of the '80s so go black.

BLACK!

How about red tint on a red car?
Green on a green car?

Or the all time best the tint with sparkles?

How about the tint that goes from mirror to black - kind of 2 toneish?

Tint is a must down here - got mine done before I hit 100 miles, was less than a week old at the time. I got as dark as the law allows front and back, including the sun strip.

i have a 93 runner with the stock slightly mirrored tint. i went to the tint shop and got the darkest available tint they had and now my tint looks more mirrored. i wish it was completely black with no mirrored look to it but i can deal with what i have.

not to hi-jack the thread but can you post pics of you runner.. i also have the OEM mirror tint and am thinking of getting mine blacked out but i am not sure how it would look.

let me try to get my friend to take a picture of it since i dont own any cameras myself. it might take awhile so please be patient. by the way, my runner is black so having the darkest tint available makes my runner look pretty good even with the OEM mirrored tint

once you go black, youll never go back! just get ready for CONSTANT cleaning. black looks wicked but keeping it that way takes plenty-o-work.
