Post Mirror tint or Gray???

Im in the process if trying to get a tint for my Silver TL. I really like the mirror tints, but they only come in 35% which is illegal in Maryland(plus I dont want it that reflective anyway).
I DO NOT want anything that looks black. Are there any other tints out there that have a grayish or silver hue to them??????

there is metallic tint that is reflective at wide angles and when looking strait ahead it looks like regular tint.

Actually, I am not sure what you mean by grey undertone, but the metallic tint is I belive charcol, which I think is similar to grey but more on the "black" side.

If you go to any good tint shop they will have panes of glass that show what the different tint they have.

I got mine done at a shop in Kensington called something like National Glass tint.

The only thing with a mirror tint is that it may cops to pull you over for the tint. It depends on your tint laws in MD, but in CA, the law states that the tint must be a grayish tint. This was an ammendment to a law which was added recently to make exceptions to front window tints.
