Mirror tint

Anybody thought about putting mirror tine (like the Lexus RX300 mirror tint) on their cl? I think it would look good with cypress green pearl. Let me know what ya think. Thanks!

I like it but it's illegal here in MD and since its mirror its more noticeable than black, so i just got 15% darker than is legal in black. There is some sort of "charcoal" colored tint, i forget who makes it, that has a sililar effect.

I don't know if I'd chance it around here Bri

You'd probably end up getting fix-it tickets every week

Someone has that kind of tint in school. 1st gen CL. I donno if he is on this board, but the black around the window is very obvious. personally I don't like it, I rather have a dark "smokey" or "charcoal" tint. ...It's just my opinion. if he is on this board, try to get a picture and you will know what I mean by the black strip around the window..it is very bvious and make the windows looks like it's a small opening.

well the only mirror tint the shop i'm using has is the stuff that fads from mirror on top to black on bottom, ya know spanish rice (a.k.a. lowrider) style. I think that would look gay though...to bad they don't have real mirror tint. Maybe i will go with charcoal. That reflects well too right?

I used to have mirror tint, but i took it off. I like the plain black look now. To me now, mirror = ghetto.

I have it...

i have 35% mirror tint on my silver car.. but the problem is w/ that is that i was hoping my car would look silver w/ silver windows, but its my silver car w/ green mirror tint windows.. the factory windows have a Green tint, so it looks good in the rain or a cloudy day, but if i could do it all over again, i'd get Black tint.. good luck guys..

guy who did my tint told me that he did only one car with 20% mirror tint ....and it was for Baltimore county DE unit. so i didn’t go for mirror tint and just got black.

and color tint looks stupid regardless...imo

I think in theory no if the 15% are not too dark. I dunno wat % u can get in mirror tints, but wouldn't it be funny if it wasn't dark, because in the laws i see nutting about mirror tint, just % in darkness.
