Default 3M Black Chrome

I know a few guys on here have this tint...so im doing a shoutout.

Likes/dislikes? How does it perform? How metallic/reflective is it in person - any regrets?

Thanks

ThermonMer: that tint reminds me of those tints you see for office building windows.
I believe SunGard has a commercial product line with that silver/light green colour tint with various %s (visible light transmittance).

got the same as the other members: 35%. nice and light, since the interior is ecru. according to the photos ive seen, darker shades become more reflective. i.e. 20% looks like mirror tint.

exactly what i was going for...white car + teal/metallic tint. i leased the car to work and live down on south beach for a few years. the starfire + tint effect blends perfectly to the color scheme of the surroundings of sand and water, and white and glass hi-rises.
