That's a camry with an ES300 Conversion...it's not to shabby looking, I hate the rims though. The conversion looks VERY well done I might say.

hey jettdawg,

i think it's must cleaner and not too odd if you would get the black tint instead of the mirror... but yea either way, just personal preference to you whatever you decide.
but from my past experience with respect to spending over $600 on tints never having to right shade or right one etc etc... long story short the metallic tint, it really looks greenish cause it's the light reflection.
other than that the black looks a lot better in my opinion, and it goes with the flow especially giving it more a better luxurious look than just greener tint.

You could also get a semi-metallic tint (Llumar makes some, Platinum Plus). I've got that on my gen3. It'll basically make the window semi-transparent and brings out the natural color of the glass (mine are bronze "stained").

thanks for the input. I just wanted to see what metallic tint would look like on a white car. I wanted to be different than just get black tint.

I THink u should just go with a dark black tint. IMO it looks better on white cars than the mirror type tint.

Good Luck on whatever u choose!
