i have 3m or lumar hyperformance titanium film on all my silver cars. they have slight reflection. if you like even more reflection(like the RX300 back window), get the QUANTUM film.


shades: medium shade 35% all the way around.
what is your interior? if they are black, i would not go more than medium as it would get very dark. imho, i like something subtle, not too dark. for blk int. i would prob. get 50% shade(light tint)

tint shades are very personal. the best way to decide is to see actual tinted cars from people you know, and decide what you like. most importantly, ask for reference from people you know.

if you are in LA area, i can recommend you few places.

honestly, if I had the choice, (with no hassles from law enforcements) I would do mirror tints all around, make my car look like a silver bullet with 20's on. That would look hot/unique.

I've seen silver w/ grey tint on the windows -- I think they put 35% film on. It looked very smooth.

I have a black/black GS on which I'm going to probably put the same tint only on the rear side and back windows.

Question: Does anybody know how to adjust the bias on the mirrors so that if the tint is too dark, I can adjust the dimmer settings for the side mirrors? Thanks!
