i think with a light color car you need real dark tint, 20% or lower.

CB is anything but light. IMHO it's a great choice. I would get a dark tint but no mirror.

I have a CBP TL-S with 35% tints all around.

Below is a link to some photos I have up of my car, not the best quality but you get an idea of what 35% would look like.

Personally 5% is ridiculously dark and will probably give you some problems with driving at night. But if your state has no tint laws do whatever makes you happy!

I like the rims so I got them used, but I prefer the look of the TL-s without the ASpec kit on.

Don't get me wrong I think it looks fabulous but wasn't something I wanted to spend for at this time. Maybe down the line when I have a need to get a new car, I will just slap the kit on =)

Definitely post some pics when get a chance...

At first I thought it was similar to Anthracite, but after looking at the two side by side it has a brownish look to it.

I think it gives it a classy look with a nice edge...

Just so you know,

percentage of tints equals the amount of light it will pass.

5% is really dark, think Limo Tint


35% is what I have all around

Most people like to do 20% on the back and 30-35% on the sides...

I would double check your local area laws on tint.
