Bay City, MI
I am trying to figure out if I want to move into getting blades for my pins. What are people's thoughts on them? I see some great blades on pingraffix.com so I am leaning toward it.
Thanks guys!

wow - I thought I was going to be the first to say mirror blades but the second post NAILED it. I used to put art on my sides but now it's mirror all the way. Huge difference and blows away the art.
pinballsidemirrors is where I get mine - very nice. I noticed recently that not all mirror blades are the same. Some are cloudy!
I have them on my Star Trek Pro but not too happy with them. I thinkt hey may be teh lower end ones. They came with the machine.
All my pins have mirrors or graphic blades. The graphics are good but mirrors are better for most imo.

Overall I like well done art blades better. Some games look good with mirror blades but others do not. For instance, I was going to get mirror blades for my IMVE, until I saw them on my friend's IMVE. It just didn't work (for me). As soon as I saw them and played a few games there was no chance of me putting them on that game. Games like AFM and Metallica also look much better with art blades than mirrors.
My first pin was JD and I bought some WPC Gold mirror Pinblades from member “Drano” on here. After purchasing them the side blade art starting getting popular and I ended getting a set of blade art instead of using the mirrors. Mirrors are still sitting in the box unused and for sale if anyone wants a set of WPC/Bally gold mirror blades.

MET with mirrors looks unbelievable. The art blades are just too much. I have not seen a pin that doesn't look good with high end mirror blades (they are not all the same).
