A dessicant(sp?) is what you are referring too. I cant imagine that even possible.

Very mysterious. lol

Regardless, loving the new mirrors. It's amazing how much more I can see, especially on the driver's side. Headlight glare seems much better, although I haven't had any big trucks behind me yet.

Yup, these mirrors are awesome, lets you make quicker and safer lane changes. At night I still do head checks, but I bet these will prevent a lot of potential accidents where I could have been at fault.

One of the forum members here rear ended a stopped car while trying to merge, I think this would have helped prevent that.

Yeah, took me a few days to start trusting the driver's mirror. Saved me from side swiping a car as I merged onto the highway today. Completely in my blind spot but fully visible in the mirror.

These mirrors work great and helped to alleviate my blind spots. I was also wondering about the laffy taffy in the box, but looks like that mystery was solved.

I'm surprised at how many people are still surprised when they buy from FT-86 Speedfactory and get the laffy taffy....It's a thing y'all. I know the laffy taffy I got helped me install the part I ordered These mirrors are really interesting. Any word on visibility issues with tint? I'm almost surprised that what the Chinese do hasn't caught on here. This is a personal pic from my trip to China last march, pretty much every car there has tinted windows with a cut out so that the mirrors are unobstructed....really interesting.

windows look legit.bro......

I was mind fucked for a few minutes with the laffy taffy. As far as the mirrors go, the best description I can give is that looking at them is like looking through a fish eye lense on a camera. Takes a little getting used too.
