ok im getting my windows tinted but I have a bit of a dilemma. should I get a silver mirror tint or a regular black tint? tinting laws are pretty restrictive in ca but Im thinkin of either a 15% or 20% mirror tint or a 10% black tint. what do yall think? personally i think a mirror tint would look sweet on a silver car but i dont want to attract cops to my car...

get the regular black. I really worry that you'll get tickets for that mirror tint. Man, wouldn't you be paranoid if you had it too? Any time you drive by a cop you just wonder... 
it's basically like driving with pure blue headlights heh. Dangerous and Illegal.
I bet you'll love the normal smoke tint.
I'm thinking of getting a tint too. I have a pebble beige metallic car. It changes colors with the sun! haha j/k, but at night, it looks totally silvery. It's cool
And I can get a bronze colored tint. That would look really elegant.
OOPS! Sorry for going offtrack.

I remember someone said smoke tint will fade, mirror (or metallic) tint won't.

I have illegal tint here in cali and the cops really don't say anything... any kind of tint is okay on the rear and two back windows... nothing can be on the front winshield and the two front windows are a mystery... when i went to traffic school the teacher (who is a cop) told everyone that tint on the front two windows can be no darker then 35%. However, when i got pulled over for something else, the cop told me that i had illegal tint. Usually i just roll down my two front windows. I seriously doubt a cop will pull you over just for tint. I would be guessing that if you where speeding that he would give youa ticket for that and also a ticket for the illegal tint. But I know a cop that will just sign the fix-it ticket off.
