Good question. My a/c delete is done. I was planning on silver tint this spring, but I hadn't really looked into reflective qualities. My gut feeling is that black tint will absorb energy, radiating some of the heat outside and some inside. But the silver tint should reflect energy back outside. Who's got the facts?

Fortunately, Missouri just removed their 'no tint on front doors' law. So I can tint all but the windshield.
