Jeff Rutherford Jax fl.
This was the best way for a customer to love thier new car, add something to it that nobody else has. Needless to say "95% of window tinter won't even try to remove this stlye of a rear view mirror."

I added silver to hide the floating film on the matrix, that's above the rear view mirror. The cutomer loved the colored vinyl, which was installed to the inside of the windshield. It matched the color of the paint on the car. "of course"











please copy to tip of the week?

i geuss you dont do that many?

there is two different styles of rear view mirrors for the mustang...im sure at your age you remember the old chevy style, that wouldnt just come off with a torx? if your not sure you could always watch the video i have...
blade
i've done plenty...just don't have an issues removing them. Flaugh.gif and thanks for calling me old spit.gif and the ones without a torx aren't hard to remove either. and thanks, but no thanks on the video. i think i'll be fine. Flaugh.gif

it takes a tool to get it off "thats for sure and its not a allen, torxs, or a flat head..."
its gotta have a angle to the tool for sure to remove it...

LMAO lol2.gif

tell us your mind trick then? you speak of the easier one of the two....cake....the harder one you would never get off with a flat head, allen, or even a torxs
Jeff Rutherford Jax fl.
gotta have something like this....

blade
grinning_and_saying_no.gif Flaugh.gif and i've got no reason to show anyone what i do. you can either figure it out on your own, or buy the tool, or not remove 'em. Flaugh.gif and in case you hadn't looked hard enough. that tool is nothing more than a flat head with a slight curve and a bent handle for leverage. you don't need the plate.
thatsnappyguy
i seen this color in person and i love it. it stands out amung a parking lot of cars for sure.

i agree with that statement.... bingo.gif
thatsnappyguy
i got the tool to remove them, its still a PITA. and the older s-10 mirrors are the only ones that i dont remove. i have broke 3 s-10 windows and am not ever going through that again.

Yes, the graphics do look nice.

I'm curious about the strip though Jeff. I know you use the ASI line on the edges but is that a real loophole that has been tested with an officer or something that you just feel will pass?
Jeff Rutherford Jax fl.
it would have to...the film is at the same angle as the as1...the as1 is what is angled on the windshield and is the design of the car...i didnt change or make my own as1...if you fallow the as1 it clearly goes to the bottom on the matrix......

i would say yes that this front strip will pass all as1 laws...

next time you get one in your shop check it out...the first as1 that travels at a angle, i never seen one do this...

lets see the video. I can get the s-10 mirror off but not this Ford mirror!

how you would test it? i know when i added a straight line to the yellow 05 mustang, my customer got a ticket for it(it was at the bottom of the matrix and went out from there) so i added this curve to the strip following the as1- the cop had to sign off on it so im sure it was looked at by jso...i know for a fact that one cop has said it to be legal...

By tested I meant if an officer or inspector ever reviewed it. Personally, I wouldnt care how anyone tinted their car lol2.gif
