Default which color visor would look best on my 350

So I decided to go with the Weathertech window visors, my car color is Smoky Granite Mica..

Which color Weathertech do you think will look best with the color of my car?

Light Smoke

Or

Dark Smoke

Heres a pic of my car, what you guys think? 5% limo
tint in back / 50% tint front

Dark.

But have you thought about AVS visors?? They are the "Seamless" type, so they go all the way and not just at the window area

Here is a pic: (Not my car)

Yeah.. the weathertech ones bulge out at the windows...



Where The AVS ones are flat and run from front all the way to the back without a break (Thats why they are called "seamless")




Then you have the "JDM" visors made by lexus

Yeah, thats basically it... the AVS only has guidance clips (that also help them from slipping out when installed)

IMO you should also take the window tint % into consideration when you're trying to figure out the color of the visors. And with that being said, I think light smoke would compliment your tints and the SGM very well.
