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

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.

no worries silver. its all good

well.. im going tommaro morning to get her tinted. i will try to get pics up asap. but i leave for florida friday morning. so im gonna be busy. but number one priority is tha ack board! i decided on 5% on the sides (Mat-black tint ((no reflection at all))) and 15% / 20% on the rear window, also black, and then perhaps a really really light mirror tint over the front windshield... but im not sure about that yet. anyway.. ill get pics up soon
thanks u guys for helping me decide!!!
