Anyone have the reflective/mirror tint type? Pics, anyone?
What are the downsides?
How's the longevity compared to normal tint film? Is it easier to scratch or more delicate to care for?

The only thing I recall mentioned was that if you have a laser/radar detector, it may cause interference.

I have the metalize slight reflective tint (35%) and not the full reflective tint.
All films with metal particles will interfere with radar detectors as opposed to dyed tint.
This is mine with the 35% metalized tint with slight reflective quality (for privacy)..

I agree, on some colors it looks cool and on others it looks nasty.
