For probably the 100th time I completely and totally disagree with you. Any color other than black and you might as well not waste your money. Like others have said tickets aren't that bad.

Not correct. That would be like fighting a speeding ticket and winning, and being exempt from every speeding ticket after that. Its still breaking the law. Its just cheaper. And I just don't care. lol.

just get black, 30% or 35%, i have to get 27% bk ny has a law that say
"more then 70% light should be transmissable thru the tints". This is how the courts interpret it.

says you


once i saw my friend's BMW silver 540 with the silver/platinum tint and matched the car well, i was convinced that not all cars look good with just black. I'm not a fan of the big contrast that black tint and a silver car gives off.

the lexus pictured doesnt look that good...black would have been better. BUT put that same tint on a silver Lexus, then it would have looked good.

Most windows have a slight green hue to them b/c of the 70% factory tint on them so the reflective tint will bring out the green a little bit. SO, you dont need to get green tint per se, just get the reflective tint like the one pictured on the Lexus and you'll get a slight greenish hue.
