several guys here and i have 35% quantum metallic tint, has mirrorish, reflective quality, similar to the factory rx300 tint. look thru the photo gallery, there are some silver gs with tint. this is kind of personal as some still prefer the trditional black tint.

I have that tint. I originally thought it was gonna be odd looking. But it looks good with Quantum 35% tint all around. Actually i'll have new pics for everyone as soon as i get my new wheels on next friday.

I'm gonnna hold you to that. I have really wanted to see what some nice and tastefully done reflective would look like on the silver. I've got the traditional and I want a switch if it will look like I hope.

I would definately go with reflective tints only if its silver. It compliments the car and also compliments the rims if it is chrome.

Default 18% SolarGuard

Went with 18% all around - Solarguard non-metallic due to issues with NAV reception (I tried metallic first).

Let me know if you want to see another angle...

Check that...it was 22% not 18. 18% is what I used for metallic first.

TC, your tint looks great...where did you have it done? Is it affecting your nav at all?

Did you try to cut out an area where the nav antennae is on the back?
