Question "Smoked" tint windows?

Hi,

Balletshugirl posted this pic of her car, but I can't figure out how to email her about it. How can I get my cars windows to "tint" like this? Is this even tint, or how the picture was taken? My uncle's rx300 has this same kick *** tint.

Weird tint or just condensation?



Looks to be condensation, but can we get this "reflective" tint on our cars?

Thanks,
ELmO

This looks like mirrored tint. I can't tell exactly by the pic but yes they sell this a lot where I am at though I don't like it all that much as I like the look of the regular dark tint better

The pic of the Rx-8 in the link looks like condensation for sure. The pic in this thread is mirrored tint.

You can get any tint you want on your car... as long as it's aftermarket film.

Keep in mind that most radar and laser detectors have a hard time working through mirror tinted windows. I don't like them for this reason.

mirror tint will get you a ticket real quick if you put it on the driver or passenger side
