Reflective Metal Tint

Does anyone have the reflective metal tint installed on their A4? I am hoping to find some pictures to help me make my decision. Also has anyone heard of or had any issues with reflective metal tint and GPS/Satelite Radio/Cell Phones?

Premium tint is metallic film. Top tint products such as Llumar all contain metal. Regular tint is dyed, which can lose its pigmentation. Metallic tint, when the light is refracted, gives a slightly reflective finish. The majority of cars on this site use metallic tint.

Sorry, this is a B6 pic but it 35% Llumar all around. Tint looks light since the sun is directly above the back window.

Re: uh, no.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I was NOT going for the "mirror" look.

Interference

Forgot to add that there have never been any ramifications to my cell phone reception, XM or nav in the 4 cars I have had tinted:
05 Acura TL
03 Infiniti FX
02 Audi A4
00 VW GTI
All have been Llumar tint.
Should run you about $250 installed.
