well put some blue film on the side mirrors today. It's some japanese brand that made the film I just bought it at an auto store so yea. Enjoy

P.S. The film in the 2nd picture isn't set all the way because I took the pic while rolling the window down so that the install would be easier on the elbow. Looks great in person though.

Some japanese company made it and I bought it in Japantown in CA. Maybe look online for side mirror film or something as I don't know how to read japanese. sorry if that doesn't quite help.

well if you're good with using a knife to trace/cut the excess pieces then you're done. other than that i'm not too sure what would happen.

that wut's squeege is for ^^ spray water/dishsoapy water, apply film , cut, squegge the fck out of it, blowdry or heat blower thingy and squeege some more

hopefully you don't get bubbles but you'll probably have a few very small ones no matter what you do. i have some on mine but hey, its a mirror
