Smiley, I think what you're referring to is the metallic tint.
You can choose from between 2 standard types when you get the windows tinted: smoke and metallic.
The smoke tint is darker at the same percentage, while the metallic has that reflective quality because it uses a more durable and longer lasting film. But yes, the metallic does reflect back a bit (like the mirror tint) in certain lighting conditions (ie- cloudy days).
But there are aftermarket tint film that is even more reflective and mirror like, and I think that's what ScoobyGT is referring to as being illegal.
