What tint for a thunder gray?

Ok, im seeing that in south florida, getting a tint done isnt just a aesthetic thing, its really functional. With intense sunlight 8 months a year, a good tint will help cool the car down, not to mention help save your interior's look.

I dont want to get the plain old black. I want something that will stand out a bit, but im really trying to stay away from the....how should i put it.... 'ricey' look. The fades usually look pretty tacky, IMHO. How about a silver? Blue would also be pretty badass, but my accents are all red =[

any suggestions? Photoshops?

Mirror tent would look really good or a silver would be cool on your color car as well.

Try the Optik tint...Its a tint that is suppose to deflect the heat of the sun by 50 to 60% but the price is a bit high...I'll be spending about $300 w/ life time warranty. Down here in Hawaii lot of cats are sportin' it.
