Default Help with tint color??!!

Okay guys, this topic pops up once in a while. As a New Yorker living in Texas, I can't take the heat anymore...I need advice on tint color.

My car is pearl white. Should I go with the classic black or the reflective? What about the metallics that were mentioned in the other thread by alexus? (What % tint was that again? )

Oh, also, I don't want to go extremely dark. I believe around 35% would be good for me.

Thanks

NO mirror tint, makes the car look cheesy in my opinion.

Dark black tint is the way to go, got to keep the ride gangsta.

And oh yeah i have 20% black and its not dark at all, 35 might be a little too light, I have no visibility problems, and no police sweat me either.

I use Titanium tint 35% all around. Anything darker than this will not pass inspection in TX. The Titanium is a little reflective but with much higher heat rejection than regular tint. I'm happy with it.

Here is the pic you can see, it's not very dark but it definitely block out the Texas sun
