Mirror style tint

Does anyone know where I could get mirror style tint?

I have silver SL500 with silver brabus monoblock rims.

thought it will be a cool idea to have a mirror type tint.

the local tint shop offers the tint mirror but it is just straight mirror, no funky shines.

i saw some w220 S-classes with kind of bluish glow coming out of their tint. I had the same on my BMW 750i factory tint. is there a way to get such on my SL?

Mirror tint is illegal in most states you will get fines and told to remove it check before you spend the money.

correct, something like that.

not perfectly mirror, but with an attribute of a sky reflection.

do you think it is a good idea to tint silver SL500 with 5 percent tint or just leave as it is?

it seems like, if i cant find mirror tint i would just have to go with regular black 3M tint.

does anyone have pix of silver SL tinted all the way black?

there's a shop in laurel, md called hallstar, I've taken all my cars there to get tinted as well as detailed, they're really good. Once my SL is out the shop from the makeover Ima take mines there too. What part of B-more do you live in?

I live 3 miles up from downtown.

I googled your place, they dont have official website just yellowpage ads.

what kind of tint they use? do they have sky type of mirror tint similar to the one they use for original MB factory tint?
