tinted windows!

I have a question. Does anyone have any experience with window tint on their 00 RX (or any rx with that mirrored glass green stuff)? I live in Florida and as you know it gets hot down here and everyone has tint. I've asked several different tint places what they thought about tinting my 2 front windows with the look-a-like mirror that they have, but i've seen rx's with thhat tint and the mirrors not the same as the stock coating...

so what i was wondering is if anyone has tinted black over those rear windows with the green coating on them. I was thinking to tint the rear windows with like either 5% or 10% and then the front one's with 15% or 20%. i figured that since the back one's on cars that tint are sometimes darker than the front anyway, so it would kind of look as if the back also had a little mirror to it...

any suggestions?!

Tints

i have a 2000 RX300 in green. and it has those color changing tints.
does any one know where i can find matching tints for the front 2 windows because i can't find matching onces anywhere and i don't want it to look retarded by being a shade lighter or darker?

for my car i asked if they had any mirror tint to make the rears a little but on a higher %. so i went with a 38% mirrored tint for the front. 38% cause here in CA we get ticketed alot. it is a reasonable match to the rear. i liked it. you can check out my thread on my car to see it.

I was going to get my back windows tinted but I was told since my rear view mirror has those sensors on it it would affect the auto dimming feature from a vehicle driving behind me. So I opted out from doing it. There are 2 sensors one on the front and the other on the actual glass. The front one would still be able to work as normal. Can someone confirm this, thanks.
