Make sure you don't get more then a 25% reflective tint if you go that route...anything higher is illegal in Florida.

I haven't decided anything yet, I don't even know if it would look good.

I used 20%. Its dark enough so noone can see in. I bought the tint at Walmart and did it myself. The door panels remove easily to allow proper installation. I used bronze color. Looks very nice. Not mirrored.
