Oh. Why would you tint your mirrors?

the tint on the windows look like mirrors (i hate it and it will come off) i got the motor ready to pull and bought the parts car 1999 grand am with a 3400... with 76k. i had to give 250 for it. But still, can get that in scrap.

The rear windows are tinted in what is referred to as "mirror tint" because it reflects like a mirror.

you getting these at an auction?

Nope, i am 50 percent owner of a salvage yard.

Now! sorry i have not updated.
