Silver or Black tint?

Guys,

For those who don't know my car is Platinum Silver. I did have a black tint on the car but after the hail damage they replaced the rear window without tinting it. They ended up cutting me a check to get it tinted which is enough to get the whole car tinted.

I was thinking of removing the black tint and getting a silver tint on there.

Or else should I just stick with black?

I've got the same color Jonny, and I'm planning on straight up black.
the gradient & silver type tint is a bit much for me... but some people like it.

i think black on silver is nice. i'm not a big fan of silver tint.

if you get black, what percentage are you going to go with?
do you think too dark looks bad?

I am not sure - I won't be bringing it to a reputable shop if you know what I mean

I think the darker the better, but I don't want to go too dark where you have trouble seeing.

What to do

Anyone else?

tint

The platinum I'm reffering too is not mirrored it looks more like a frosted silver or platinum color go to google and do a search on platinum tint i know its not mirror because it's illegal to have reflective tint in VA
I agree black is sweet but I have seen a silver ls 400 with the platinum tint and it was unbelievable
