What type of tint?

Hi I've been lurking on this board for a while now trying to decide on if I should get the CL-S =) Well the good news is that I finally bought it last Saturday. Just wondering what tint would be good for me to use. I've been thinking of mirror tint...but let me know your suggestions =)

I personally don't like the mirror tint, but to each their own.

I'd go with the classic "smoke" tint. Get the metallic kind though b/c it's guaranteed for life to not fade or purplize (is that a word?).....

I'm looking for tint as well. I saw a IS300 with mirror tint. It was not bright and shiny like chrome or silver. But a darker color, maybe gray or green. Looked nice.

Any metallic material in the tint will affect radar reception. No 2 ways about it but metallic tint is the only good kind.

On a white car, I would go with a black tint, I think it will look real good.
