    I've seen it on a car or two around here, mostly on supped up Honda Civic's. It looks different, but I wouldn't want it on my car.

          Stick to Limo Tint. Not sure if Silver Tint is the right move. Just my thought though.

            nah man

            you dont want that.

            here in l.a. its only the racers that put that stuff on their souped up hondas. alot of the asian racer guys have it. its tacky.

            just go with a nice smoke tint not too dark and it looks insane.
            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                I was in the Window Tinting biz for 16 years...

                Kinda depends on what what degree of silver youre talking about..
                Silver reflective window film (mirrored) in its most reflective form is intended for residential/commercial applications only..cpl reasons
                1st At night it will reflect back on you on the interior side and make it impossible to see out.
                2nd It generally has a much less agressive adhesive applied to it and depending on the curve of the glass on the car it can be very difficult to install.
                3rd Its illegal in many places and the cops will pull ya over for it.

                I have installed reflective commercial films in the form of graphics on some peoples vehicles and for the most part they have had not trouble with these kind of applications.

                Now having said all that there are HI PERFORMANCE films for automotive applications. They do have a somewhat reflective apperance (tho not to the same degree as the above commercial films) and are much better at reducing the heat, plus they are not dyed, they use actual metal particles to achieve the reflective apperance so you wont have a problem with them fading over time.

                I imagine this is the type of film you are thinking about, just be sure if you want this you ask for "HI PERFORMANCE AUTOMOTIVE FILM" it generally comes in 3 levels/degrees of darkness or shading:
                35% light
                20% meduim
                5% dark

                anyway..I don't have any digital pics of my work to post, but this link has a few examples for you.. scroll down a bit.

                            Hope you know the CVC before spending too much on tint. All it takes is one cop that had his wife or girlfriend leave him for a guy in a Mercedes to end up having to remove it.

                                                              Mirror tint usually looks pretty poor - but occasionally looks QUITE nice!!!

                                                              I had it on an 79 blue GMC Sierra pickup.. It was behind naturally greenish glass.... gave it a nice tint that matched the blue....

                                                              eitherway... it was one of the rare times I've seen it look good
                                                              white cars look decent with it too..

                                                                                                  However, it seems they typically will not bug ballers..... if you are rollin an expensive ride, they give you respect kinda and ignore ya....

                                                                                                  However if you are rolling in a hooptie or impala kinda thing with a dark tint.... maybe a pinto, honda, toyota with a tint like that, they will grab ya....

                                                                                                  I think money brings respect and cops get intimidated slightly so they dont want to start shit for a small ticket... maybe I am wrong, but so far I have had cops sitting next to me, ask me to roll the window down and told me "NICE RIDE".

                                                                                                  Maybe I am lucky, or they are gay? Who knows.
