thats what im leaning towards. ive got an appointment at solar shield thursday morning. she says they just got this new black no reflect tint. she says this tint has absolutley no reflection at all. They also just got a new "full metal" tint. and this tint has as much reflective make up thats allowed by law. any thoughts on these?

avoid dyed film. it will eventually turn purple.
i wouldn't go any darker than 20%.

for sure... i think im gonna go black. and i think im gonna do 5% on all 4 side windows, and then 20% on the rear window. My first legend (2dr) had 5% on the three rear windows (rear sides, and back window) and 20% on the front sides. the 5% on the rear was difficult cus parking and stuff at night was almost impossible w.o rolling down the windows and using only side mirrors

Retired. Not available.
when he wrote mirror, I think he meant metallic. I have metallic on and it looks good with silver. A friend of mine was gonna have his tint stripped to put on metallic after seeing mine.
Legend2die4,
sorry, I havent had a chance to snap some pics. My car is too dirty to have pictures taken.
