pics of Sterling Max w/ tint??

I'm looken to get tint in the spring, but wondering what looks better on a Sterling Silver maxima. I was thinken either a 20% black, or possibly reflective tint, like on a lexus R330.

Anyone with a sterling max and tint, please post some pics, so we can compare.

thanks guys

I say go with the reflective tint. I love the Sterling Mist color. Because it is such a versatile color, it could probably handle either one very well. You would not go wrong with either of the tints. However, more people have the black, so if you can get a good reflective tint job done (looking like the Lexus) then, I say go for it.

Llumar is a brand, reflective is a type. That's like asking "is running shoes the same as nike?"

Looks great!
How much did that job cost with the Lumar? and that is only 5%?
I don't like the fade either if it makes it looked rigged. I don't like it when it goes from really reflective and silver to really black. that sucks. However, the Lexus cars do really good with just fading all silver up. That looks tight, but it would have to be done very well.

Its 35% 3m tint......maybe this summer Ill get it taken off and get some 20% 3m. I like it cause its reflective and it gets a darker look on sunny days too, its pretty sweet stuff!

I never got 20% cause it came this way when I got it.

Yeah, it's a color that you don't ever really see that much of. And you don't hear a ton of talk about, but there are closet people out there. All of the sudden, sometimes, the Sterling Mist just comes out of the woodwork. ha ha

I feel the same about Crimson Blaze. You don't ever see then, but every once in a while, like right now, there is a cycle of them on the org.
