I don't know what you mean by half titaniums. Mine are full titanium at 43% visibility.

That's pretty sweet. Does the tint have a color to it as well? Kinda hard to tell by the pics. How dark can you go with that type of tint? How much for 5 windows?

I know what your talking about but honestly I dont think that will look good. Actually Ive only seen them on trucks and that would be on that rear window glass thing. I have titanium tint on my car too with only 20% all around.

Question

Does the titanium tint interfere with the Navi too?

I have seen the half mirrored tints on many cars, but just not on the TL. I see how the light titanium looks, but does anyone have any tints that are more reflective? As in Darker and more mirror like.

I paid $150 for the tint on all four windows and the back glass, including tint over the matrix dots in the back. They gave me a good deal at this shop in the San Gabriel Valley. No interference with the Navi; it still works fine, maybe because I got a relatively light shade of tint. If you get a metallic tint that is really dark, the extra metal may interfere with Navi reception.

This tint doesn't have any color, it's just a little dark and a little mirror-like. I know it comes in really dark varieties too.

They are called "Black Ice" tints, I believe. I don't really like them. I would go with full titianum like I've got it. But it does mess up your navi sometimes.

Well, I won't criticize your evidently good taste. I'm thinking of adding the mesh grill soon and perhaps lowering it with Comptechs. Did you have this in mind too?

I have the full mirror tint to where if you were looking at my car you would see your own reflection, just like a reg. mirror. Its pretty dark too because when Im driving and just looking outside I mainly see my own reflection
