I was asking myself the same question and I didn't decide myself yet. I wanted that "Platinum" tint that has a slight of green and silver in it (like reflective). But I still don't know. I heard about Titanium which is a black tint with a silver film on it. Don't know.

Remember this: Whatever the degree of tint you choose, it'll cut your nighttime vision, especially when you have to see a car approaching you from the back or sides! This is an added degree of danger.

I went with 8 in the back and rear windows, and 35% in the front. I had 8 in the front to but got a ticket. The other thing to think about too is to get the tint with the lead in it for the sun and heat.. I see that you have a black car so thats just an option. The only bad part about it when i did that was my alarm wouldnt transmit as far anymore cause of the lead. I also put 35% on my sunroof.. Its a lot better at night and it will keep the heat and UV out also. Just a thought.

I must say that i got a 20% quantum tint (like mirror, but not that mirror look) which looks great on pearl white. In your case i think the smoke will really bring out your ride!!!

I think you have one of the few colors of paint that looks good with the reflective tint.

My vote = Keep it.
