there is no such thing as a good pic of a car with silver tint. Unless it's a pic of the tint being removed.

Another one for "DON'T DO IT!!!"

I'm all for doing what you want...to a point. The only cars I've seen with that silver tint are Hondas, Acuras, Toyotas, Nissans...get the point? Just go with black tinting and be done with it. Especially on a black car.

now everyone needs to realize that by silver he MIGHT not mean chrome tint like everyone is thinking.. by silver he might just mean reflective-ish.. i have black tint on my car and in the sun it is very reflective.. i would call this silver and not chrome.. just my .02

never seen it. Not sure how it would look. Bottom line it's ur car an ur cash do what u want not what everyone else wants. If it looks real bad and u don't like it .....live an learn rip it off and try again. The windows are fairly cheap to tint. it's the hatch that cost all the big $$$$ get them to do just one side and see how it looks.

Yup, I did 5% autozone tint cheap as hell so i could try it out and see how i liked it before i spent 200 on it. It helped alot and i learned what i do and dont like. As far as the reflective tint, i saw a light colored car this weekend that had (silver/blueish) or w.e. tint and it looked pretty good. If alot of people don't like it theres prob a good reason though so you may just want to think about it for a while also. You can't rush perfection
