What color tint for red cl?

Help me decide since I'm only gonna get this done once and I love my ride a lil too much
black is the obvious choice but maybe a shade of brown would look cool as well (I have a bright red 2.3 cL not the 98 dark red)
I also like the blue colored tint that they have on some cars but I'm not sure it would go on my car

so which do I get and I live in MD so has to be 35% at the most (though I live in quiet neighborhood never had any run ins with the law so was hoping i could get away with a 20-30%)

They make red tint, but I still saw <30% black tint is better. The other colors are too ghetto. Especially mirror or platinum.

I would go with either No Tint, or a Bronze 35% on a CL... It gives it that luxury look.

Put on 30% platinum, it is very far from ghetto and sets off the car, I get compliments all the time

I've seen a platinum tinted red accord and I loved it, I don't think its ghetto at all. what I do wonder is if its legal here in MD, coz all reflective tints are a no no....

i wanna see pics of platinum tint.

Funny how any metalic tint is illegal, but the RX300 comes stock with it...

I'd do typical black on a red car... anything else on an Acura I think would be ghetto.

The lexus's have a reflective tint only on the rear windows, which is OK. U can't have those in the front.
