Default Name that tint

Looked through some threads but i didn't find the answer forgive me if i missed it somewhere but does anyone know what film and/or tint is one some of the 1st gen RX300 and some later model Benz in the rear windows sort of a mirror or reflective film. I also seen it aftermarket on an 09 Camero last week thought it may look nice on the SC.
Thanks 4 reading

Google? Reflective tint has been around for years. Being how old that RX is, just shows how long it's been around. Not trying to be an ****, but that's a pretty easy find just doing a quick search.

IF Velocity happens to be reading this thread and chimes in, he has the only reflective tint worth having. Totally different from that crap. He was over here recently and I was drooling over it in my driveway. It has a very low percentage of reflectiveness in it. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...09-photos.html

look up local dealers in your area that carry Huper Optic,Lummar or 3m automotive tints

Huper Optic and Lummar are at the top when it comes to quality window tints I have seen them being used from high end homes to big yachts...google search these brands,they both have websites with extensive info on tint film that have metallics to carbon in them to help relect from sun rays, etc....


heres my old S14 with Lummar 28% charcoal relective tint....I choose this film because the metallic models give off a platinum reflection that IMO did not look good on a car that is black.Its a little expensive,but worth it

Yess.. velocity has the exact tint that I had in mind. So the next question i have is; would that look better than a 35% dark tint on a white sc with a painted roof???
