Default Llumar Platinum Tint On Chrome Silver Z

Has anyone put llumar platinum tint on a CS Z (or any other color). I just wanted to know what you guys think of it. I'm looking for something that's black/grey and reflective.

rims are 19" ggames in gunmetal. they are similar to the sf challenge expect that the spokes are a little skinnier.

Pretty sure I'll go with the metallic. I talked to my tint shop and they said $265. They also said the tint is not dark at all, just reflective. That would be good, it would look cool, deflect heat and it wouldn't affect visibility. I will go with llumar platinum plus. It is suppossed to be the best tint out there.

I like non-metallic better only because it blends with the b-pillar and gives you the look of a long smooth window instead of two.

I say metallic. Look at what lexus/bmw/other high end cars are putting on from the factory.

Don't forget the effects metallic tint will have on radar detectors...

I decided to switch tint shops. The shop I have been using for years. They charge me $120 for lumar's semi metallic charcoal film, but they wanted to charge $260 for platinum plus. I called around and had platinum put on for $169 at another reputable shop, It looks great on the chrome silver Z.

Metalics will not fade. Color will remain the same.
Non metalics will fade to a purple tint in a relatively short time.

I need to borrow a digital camera, I will try to gets some pics up tomorrow. Does it take a day or so for the bubbles from the soap / water solution to evaporate? That is what the tint shop said....Is this normal?
