HELP Tint question

Hi, I have a Heather Mist Metallic 99 TL and I'm planning on get it tinted over spring break. I was wondering what kind of tint you guys think would look best on it (smoke, metallic, etc). Also, pics would be great as I tried searching but it seems that no pics in the older posts show up anymore.
Thanks,
Brian

I tried the search, but most of the pictures don't show up anymore, due to that recent update on the site. Does anyone else have any insight?

Just stick with the reg. black/smoked tints. A metallic film only looks good on SSM or NBP.

Is there a difference between "black" and "smoked"? Because I like the tint in the second picture better, they seem like different tints.

whoa I really like that pic of the real Heather Mist one. Would you happen to know what % it is. I live in NY and I was thinking 35% is the best I could go without getting harassed every day.

Hey i have this sick tints i put on my TL a week ago, they are the "pp20" they are silverish to darkgreen to black during the day (depending on the sun's reflection) and they are like 15%black during the night... i'd post a picture but i dont know how...

they give a really nice fancy/racey look that calls a lotta attention.

i sent you pics this afternoon, post them if you want. the are the "pp20"s.
if BDV posts em, i just want to say that they will look more silverish on daylight, and WILL turn 15-20% black tints during the night. they cost around $150.
