Pics request: tinted silver car
Anyone has a tinted silver car? Please share some pics. What type of tint do you think will look good on a silver car? Any places to recommend in SF or San Jose area? Thanks.

I got my silver C-Coupe tinted at Auto Creations in Hayward. I'll try to post pictures after I snap a few (haven't taken any pics of my new tint since it's been cold/windy/cloudy/stormy out here).

I had my brother's 2k E320 tinted a couple of months back. He's off in Kabul and I figured I'd give him something to look forward to upon his return. 35% on sides and rear. (sorry, didn't have a chance to resize photo)

I have Brilliant Silver Sports Coupé and
because I have a dark (Charcoal) interior I have 43% on the sides, and 35% on the back.
Here are a couple of pics:
From a different angle/shade you can see that the side 43% tint looks like it's almost not there.
By the way the larger the percentage ( % ), the more light comes through the window. So a smaller % means darker tint.

its 35% "titanium". the first two pics it is mid afternoon and sunny. third pic is right before the sun went down. if the sun hits it hard you can almost see right through. but later in the day it gets a mirror tint to it and darker. at night it looks like a regular 35% and if its cloudy or raining it looks very mirrored and greenish.
