Default tint for gold sc

I want to get my sc tinted and can't decide what to go for. My car is the gold/champagne color and I'm not sure what tints are available but I was thinking I would like to go for a tint similair to the RXs but instead of a green metallic finish I would get a gold one to match my car. I am not looking for a mirror tint, just smoked with a real subtle gold metallic finish. I like the black tints but think that since my car is a light gold color that it might blend the windows with the body better if they had a real sublte gold metallic finish. Anyone try this or have any opinions?

Black them out. Go as dark as the law allows...Make backing up at night a challenge! I have a phobia about people being able to see the back of my head while driving, so that's why I say Black Them Out!

I have millenium FM28 and FM18 on my gold SC400, and it almost pulls the color of the car up onto the window, (see photo) its not too dark, but it is dark enough, and it is the darkest legal tint there is (at least for TX) I somehow tricks the machine that tests the tint so that perpendicular to the window is 30, but at all other angles it is darker. Im not really sure how that works though. Here is a picture of my car with the tint.

here's another

NRG- Yeah, my parents said they would get me some for X-mas, so I think I'll just wait. I kinda like all the holes! The rear bumper I dont think I will switch out, because then you have to get the new taillights. I was thinking about the JIC rear bumper thing that just fits on the back, but that was like $342.00 plus painting it again! So, I like it how it is, but I know I need some fogs.

JIC rear skirt add-on maybe too low for the stock skirts...I wouldn't consider it, if I were you...
