I am thinking of putting silver tint material on my T-tops. Anybody done this? Do the T-tops look silver afterwards? Any photos?

I thought all t-tops were tinted smoke...would the silve go on the outside?

It goes on the inside.
If it's properly installed, it does not flake off. Mine have been tinted since I bought my car in 2000 with no problems. I tinted them myself.
I most assuredly would not put reflective tint on t-tops. The tops are already factory tinted, and with reflective tint on the inside, it's going to reflect the sunlight and heat right back through the tint again, which could cause them to get too hot. I've heard of tops shattering in high heat with reflective or bronze tint added to them, so I'd suggest not going that route."No, officer, that bottle is my onboard Halon system"

Thanks, I'll post photos when I get it done.
