yea okay buddy...


Theres this older man around my area. drives a 2002 silver M3 w/ that mirror tint. Looks amazing. Not for all vehicles but if ur Tc can pull it off then yea...

Even some half mirror half black tints look pretty good on some vehicles.

I think the mirror looks good. I think the fade looks even better. But I haven't seen it on a tc, so I can't give you a first hand opinion. Can it be a form of rice?

What is mirror tint with fade? How does that look like?

I personally dont like mirror tint but all films have a little reflectance to them, depending on the type of film. I have a semi reflective tint and I think it looks good. On overcast days it looks more silver than black, but sunny days its glossy black. Best of all, is that it rejects more heat. Some people like it, some dont.

I think a reflective tint would be dope! Im just afraid it wouldnt look good on my flint mica. Totally reflective like a mirror would look sweet. Although im sure that it is very illegal and more likely to be spotted than just a rgular black tint.

ugh... this "Rice" bandwagon statement is on every forum. What a shame.

Your car will NOT look RICE. Its your car, and im sorry but 1 mod that doesnt suit others peoples taste doesnt make u a ricer.

IF YOU THINK IT LOOKS GOOD. DO IT. HELL...NO ONE ELSE HAS PUT THAT TINT ON...U MIGHT BE THE SPARK PEOPLE NEED...IT MIGHT ACTUALLY LOOK GOOD. w/ a complimentint set of wheels.

To all of the people that dont pay attention, I did not say anything about the fade tint. It's nothing like the reflecitve tint like REal has, he actually knew what I was talking about. This is the kind of tint thats on Maxima's and Altima's. Sometimes it looks good and sometime it doesnt, that is why I was wanting to see some pix for a better look at what it looks like on a TC.

^ Yea a lot of people think reflective tint is mirror tint... All tints have a visible light
reflectance. It just depends on the type of film, some films will reflect more light than others. I personally like the glossy look because it gives it a clean look rather then dull plain black.

Btw the film I have on my tC is all-metal, which will last a lot longer than those regular types of dyed films. Reason why I choosed to go with this type of film is that heat rejection is also higher. I paid $180 for back 3 windows. At least I know my windows wont look like ____ in the long run.
