what tint looks best

on another note, I will be tinting my windows, I had mirrored tint in mind but i hear it looks like crap, honestly i think it will match the wrx rally silver paint quite well all around, i dont care if its illegal, anyone have pics of their beetles or busses with good tinting choices

Reflect-o-tint is not illegal in the People's Republik of Maryland on your Type 2 if you use it on all of the windows rearward of the driver. Tinting restrictions only apply in the cab area.

Since you're asking for opinions I'll give my 2/100ths of a dollar's worth for free. I think you should do exactly that. And then, regular tint the driver and passenger door to the state's max.

On my Jetta I have mirrored tint with regular tin underneath. Its really dark and its not that reflective.

mirrored tint like that is usually not sold at autotive tint places but rather it is tint that is used on houses & building windows. Not sure exactly where to find it.
