Question Opinion in poll form

Ok, so I'm curious about what people will think regarding this. Let me lay down the set facts before laying out the question.

Considering that I will be keeping my headlights the polished chrome no matter what type I get and most likely keeping the super shiny stock rims that I have.

Do you think I should get a mirrored tint on all windows? or the regular charcoal?

Please post any opinions you may have as I'm curious about how receptive/repulsed people are to this idea.

I was going to try and do some photoshopping of my car with tinted windows and with mirrored windows, to try and get a feel for it, but alas, my computer at home is borked and I don't have photoshop in the office. Lames

Thanks for the info so far guys, keep it up.

You might check your local laws, in most states reflective tint is illegal...

I've checked the local laws and everything, mirrored tint is legal but you have to have a permit, which I have. The same goes for darker charcoal tint here. So legally speaking I'm ok.

Unless your name is a Pimp Named Slickback, you are not allowed to have mirror tint. , Charcoal all the way.

Aaron, by the way, were you driving in the Aveo on Sunday afternoon going down Preston? I was sitting in the the left turn lane on Parker and one went by and it kinda looked like you, but I didn't get a good look.

later

Not mirrored. Unless it is something like a 10% mirrored underlayer on the tint (which mine has). But in that case, you can't see the reflectiveness at all. Just serves to block a little more light and keep the interior of the car cooler.

Here's a picture of my truck with mirror tint(35%). I've had both, but I highly recommend charcoal.

man, overwhelming response... I really like the way the mirrored looks with the rally yellow body... and nothing else on my car is going to be blacked out or dark at all. Having a really tough time deciding this one hehe.
