Default To do or not to do

I am planning on getting my windows tinted but don't know what will match my gunmetal paint the best. Can I get some pics posted of what they have so I can make my mind up. Search engine is broken.

I have seen one that is lighter, not limo tint, and it looks great. Just a tad darker than the paint. Looks like a fade as it moves from the body to the window...too bad the search is down.

What do you plan to do about the rear window? Will tint on the conv. top get scratched up during folding/unfolding (assuming you have glass)?

Not doing the rear window as of now but I am debating weather to go with a semi mirror tint or 20% standard black tint. I would really appreciate some photo's to help me decide.

Sorry to hi-jack but, can you tint the back window on the S2000s if they are glass? Just curious for when/if I get mine, I get tint the day I drive my cars off the lot.

Come on guys. I only have 1 day left and I am left in the dark on what color will look good on a gunmetal. Pics would be awesome. I wouldn't even bother you guys if the damm search engine wasn't broken.

I have a reflective tint on my Silverstone and I've gotten a lot of props and it's just tint!

I thought it accented the silver real well, and it's dark enough to where you won't get a ticket, at least I haven't gotten one yet, and it blocks the sun really well...

My buddy that put the tint on for me tells me that a lot of luxury cars use that tint so it makes me feel all classy and stuff

It looks smokey when the light isn't making it look reflective or shinny...

It's luminar tint I beleive, I don't know if youre familiar with that but it is more expencive that limo, but not by too much...

I like it a lot, Good luck with your decision!

not doing the rear? i think that would look kinda tacky. regarding tint, black is basic. check these links.
