haha, ok I guess there is no need for a pic, I can't remember ever seeing it on a black car and the idea jumped into my head today at work, i was thinking maybe it would go good with my rims and my billet grill. shes tinted black right now so I will keep her that way.

It wouldn't match any kind of rims (even chrome) or your billet grill. Mirror tint is something that'd be more practical for a "privacy window" at your home.

I've seen a blacked out Civic with mirror tint. The car would have looked fine (yes I said it ) had it not been for his awkward tint that put a strange gradient/color on his windows.

Either tint looks good on his car,IMO I have the mirrored on the hawk, but I don't think it's as mirrored as the car in question. Dark cars with dark tint look good. The dark tint on mine broke up the silver too much, just my preference, so I stuck with the 20% mirrored. My son has a black gtp with the black(stealth) tint, looks damn good.

thanks jason, lol.
the black will tie in the "two tone" look i guess you can say so the whole top will be black instead of broken up by the windows but o well. the best thing i love about my mirror tint, is not only can you NOT see into it at all since my guess is, its around 5% transparency, but when people eyeball **** me, they stare for like 10+ seconds just trying to figure out why they're seeing their car in my windows.lmao. it also reflects the sun into your eyes like a *****. if i ever have an all white or all silver car, ill do it, other than that no.
