Tinted windows

What would look better on a black Gen 5 XLE with light interior. The sliver tint, or just normal black tint? I'm thinking just black tint would kind of give it a stealthy feel. BUt with the light interior. Maybe a silver tint with the black finish would contrast well. and maybe hide the interior because its lighter.

And before you post saying "Its your choice do whatever"... I know. I'm just asking for YOUR opion. Personally if it was blue I'd go dark tint all the way. But I wonder if black/black would make it look too dark..

Thanks
-Robert-

P.S. I'll post some pics of it when it warms up and I can get it cleaned and polished. I picked up som Zymol wax and I'm itching to get out and use it.

and it might help if I ever find my digital camera.

anything on black is good, except for the colored tint. Well it's not for looks it's to keep from burnin' your ass and fading. I would go w/ the black though. What % are u doing? what % is it for VA laws?

I didn't plan on the half and half stuff.

I'm not sure what is legal for virginia but I also have to find out what is legal on base. Being in the military they might just might have a highere % than va state law.

^^ Please do not type in all caps.

It's annoying, hard to read, considered shouting on the internet, and goes against forum rules.

Also... anyone know anybody in the Nothern Virginia / DC area that dooes an extremely good professional job? I'm talking top of the line, guaranteed for life kinda thing.

I don't mind spending a bit more for a very good job. I'll be happy if I can keep it under $300

Black tint on black cars looks great, I would go for the black tint.

Also, I believe that for around $240 you can buy me a ticket to go to Northern Virginia and I'll tint your car for $60.

in VA you can have 50% front, 35% rear. I recently took down my 50% and had it redone to match the back, my interior is light so it's not that dark anyway, it just looks better.


I went to LA Tint in Woodbridge, across potomac mills mall, they also have office in sterling and manassas, it cost me $281 with tax for the 5 windows on my camry, it's guaranteed for life. They're little more expensive than others but I heard good things about them, I'm happy as well.
