Does anyone know where I could get a pair of chrome mirrorshades? I had a sweet set of Terminator Gargoyles, but they recently met their demise under the heel of a steel toed boot (snif). I look okay with the MIB raybans, but I’m an 80’s throwback and prefer the classic chrome look. ---

I would think any Sunglass Hut (mall store) or even a Harley dealer would be able to hook you up. CandyMan ---

The trick is finding the chrome lenses. Sunglass hut doesn’t carry them anymore (last I was there), too 80s. ---

Do you have a model or anything MP? I found a crapload of Gargoyles on [Ebay](http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ebaytag1=ebayreg&ht=1&query=gargoyle+sunglasses&ebaytag1code=0&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&SortOrder=%5Ba%5D). ---

Actually, after some hunting I’ve decided that the pictures on the net just don’t convey the silver as well as I’d like. I was able to recognize the ones I owned as Silver Gargoyle Legends, which don’t look as much like the Terminator glasses as I remember, and aren’t quite chrome, but still do a good enough lob of reflecting people’s gaze back at them. For that is the great thing about mirrorshades. Eyes (the gateway to the soul) give away a lot about what a person, but with sunglasses you can only guess at those reactions. Mirrors give the added bonus of making someone look at their own reflection, and into their own abyss. ---

Can you get mirrored contacts? ---

If I ever see them I will order them in a heartbeat. Okay, after doing a search for them, I will order them after I have $350 to blow. Actually they didn’t look all that cool n the pic, but the Black Light ones looked sweet.
