Metallic tint for MINI
So today, i went to a tint shop and saw this TL with metallic tint. it looked nice and the salesperson said it reduces heat absorption. I'm pondering whether I should go with just normal 15% tint or 10% metallic tint. If anyone has any idea or has done metallic tint, do you guys like it? does it look good on a mini? thanks.

Uhh tints! ......
My dad took my coop yesterday for a few hours and got a Fix-It ticket for my front tints
I dont understand how the cop noticed the tints when it was late at night .He told the cop "its all my stupid sons fault" didnt help......... he even offered to take the tints off in front of him but couldnt manage to take them off 
but at lease he didnt notice a few other things....

It always amazes me (in California, don't know the laws elsewhere) when people get mad at getting fix it tickets for tinting front door windows, running without a front plate, etc when those things are illegal and you will eventually get a ticket for them. If you don't want the tickets then don't break the law. Just because it looks great does not make it right to do. Sorry, but no sympathy from me. I hope you are going to do the right thing and pay the ticket and not make your father even though he was driving.

Keep in mind that metallic film doesn't have to be excessively-reflective or "mirrored". Basically, there are three types of film - dyed, metallic and ceramic. (Metallic and ceramic are made using the same basic process, just with slightly different materials)
I don't know if you can get mirror-finish dyed film, but I do know that you can get metallic/ceramic tint that isn't mirror-finish.
