Many of us will state that 80-Series production ended in '97 when production actually continued on till '06 or '07 in VZ. Again, this inaccuracy is due to our focus on USA specifications and production.

Just the way it should be

I've been keeping an eye out for a wrecked fj80 with all the glass so I can tint them all to match.....yeah I'm obsessive like that.

The bronze is impossible to match. I tinted mine a couple years back, and it looks like a match some of the time. IIRC, on sunny days it's a perfect match, but at night it's obvious that it just ain't the same.

Here's a recent poser pic:



You can tell the difference from this picture. The front window tint just doesn't have that reflective quality that the OEM tint has. The Toyota tint is actually in the glass.
