Different Window Tint

Do you guys know types/brands/manufacturers of good semi-reflective window tint? I am not talking about the half silver, half black tint, but something that is more reflective than the regular llumar or 3m tint. I got a silver max, and black tint will not look as cool, as on a darker car. I saw a black grand prix a few days ago, and he had some sort of "smoked" tint on his windows, looked almost gray/reflective. If you know what type this is, or what may be similar, i would appreciate it.

All dark tint is all "smoked" in color. It only appears black depending on the percentage, like 5% or limo tint.Smoked tint on a silver car would look great. Tint comes in a variety of styles and colors. I have 20% bronze on Sunlit Sand on my Max. I received alot of compliments because it goes with the car nicely. I'm not sure what your looking for exactly, but I think a silver car with "smoked" tint would look hot and match the car perfectly,

metallic tint

i THINK i have the greyish/reflective tint you are talking about. i got it from autoglass, it is full metallic tint, has no dye it in, would not discolor or fade as compare to regular tint that use ink/dye. it block UV, and like 35% of the heat radiation. it is very light in color, and yet has a metallic look to it. i like it a lot, i think it was money well spent. costed me about 300 CA$. has lifetime warranty from the manufacturer, NOT the installer, even if the installer closed down, i can still get warranty (so they speak) from another installer.

I went with the Solar Gard metallic film (non-dyed, won't fade) that adds just a little reflection to the tint. I can probably dig up the details if you want them - unfortunately on my web site the sun angle is wrong to see the reflective qualities. I've you want mirrored though, this isn't the way to go - reflection is subtle.
