hey nym31mp , i am debating the same thing you are, and i also have a white tl-s. I am probably getting tint in the next few weeks and i think im going to go with smoke. Probably most of the reason being that the cops in my area hassled me with mirror tint all around on my last car. Jersey is the worst for tinting laws

smoke... on my SSM i got 3% smoke, if i would have gotton mirror at 3%, it would have looked like someone painted my windows silver. Mirror is good for light applications, but if you want it dark, go smoke.

I have a white TLS and I personally think that Madico Cool Chrome tint looks the best on that color...My tint is very nice looking.

Get a black tint. Mirror tint is gay. Thats what everyone in thier fake hondas that arent hooked up with the ghetto used body kit that is a different color from the rest of the car do. And it makes ur car look cheap as hell too. atleast w/ black ur car looks more expensive and mafia.

You can get a slight mirror finish that looks good.

I have 20% dark/black tint on my heather mist. They look real nice, but i think smoke tint (dark grey) would be even better, more classy

From what I remember about Jersey you can put whatever you want in the back windows but NOTHING in the front two.

Here in Toronto from what I've heard you can put whatever you want, wherever, and no one has any problems with it.

that isn't quite true...For the driver’s compartment, right and left, no film can be installed that would substantially obscure visibility from the exterior. Behind the driver’s compartment, any film can be installed. This is for Ontario.
