what tint will match my car???

sup guys i have a 99 ls400. the gold color not sure of the correct name of the paint. but i was looking to tint my car. should i go with the blacked out look or the ceramic tint which is reflective?? im pretty sure i dont want to go with green tint cause i dont think it will match my car color.

anything on that car will look a tad reflective, cuz the older lexuses had green reflective glass. i wanted the least reflective look so i put 3M carbon on it. the 3M is black tint, but a little bluer than most tints. the blue kind of cancels out the green so it looks really grey.

kind of hard to tell from the pics though

Here's some pics of my car, just to give you an idea. If you go black, you can do no wrong, but if you choose the silver reflective color then your limiting your options. Have you tried photoshopping your car? Try that first and then decide.

Haha what up!

IMO I really think that the silver reflective tint will look good with that paint color.

i just got my windows tinted to a 35% bronze and they look dope! i did it to match the brown color but it also looks good on black cars too! i say do it, most tint shops charge $100 more on top of a regular tint quote for the bronze color. i'll try to get some good hi res pics and post it here when i get a chance.

I can vouch for daygovip619's tint. Its dope. I have never seen bronze tint before, and after seeing his at the AF meet I would say get that tint. Here are some pics that were posted by c4president and pancakes in the events section:

i dont wanna touch the windsheild because that's just asking for cops to fuck with you. i picked the 35% because im not a fan of too dark tint, and i still wanted to see my curtains.
