Mirrored. Saw a CS the other day with mirrored and it looked great. Smoke is for the SS.

i chose smoke so the side glasses would blend in with the black border around them and the b pillar.

filed....? wouldnt it might chip the windows....how long did it and how much $$$

thank you

I say smoke it too...I think that the silver might be a little much on a silver car. The dark tint just makes it look more classy IMHO.
Also when you have the back window done...make sure the installer uses one piece on there. Any good installer can do it. If they do it in pieces, its going to look like crap later on.

Ok Kids!!!

Be Sure to stay away from metallic tints if your car is equipped with the factory tire pressure monitor.

The manual states metallic films can interfere with the signal reception.
