Default Flint Mica Tint? Silver or Dark Limo

Just bought a Flint Mica a week ago.. Love the car, best 4cyl ever driven. Just joined this forum two night ago. I've seen some great pictures that were edited using photoshop and now I need your help, can someone photoshop a Flint Mica with silver tint and limo tint?

thanks

Just a personal opinion, but the "silver" reflective tint looks incredibly crappy on any car I've ever seen it on. Just go with a decent % (check your state laws) and get it done at the right place and it will look good.

Thanks, that's what I think I want to use, but I just want to rule out the silver tint.

I have mirrored tint on my Altima! It looks good as long as you don't get that super silvery stuff that looks like pressed aluminum foil! If you get the graphite tint that is semi-reflective it can look really good! Just my .02! I would think that it would look good on on the Flint Mica.

Is 20% limo and 35% the next shade down? I want it to match the sunroof.

Thanks for the photo, car looks great. Are you having any problems with the tint on the back window due to the rear defrost?
