This one is called slate, probably similar to your onyx one, 20% on the front and 35% on top of the factory privacy on the rear



This one is called endurance, it is metalized, so pretty reflective, I personally like it better:

The pic i posted earlier in this thread of my Soarer (SC400) was also Endurance tint (i think!). the finish depends on the glazing on the glass- mine had a slight green hue so the tint matches the car perfectly.
Its a Very nice tint, and i havent had any trouble with the cops for it (reflective tint is supposed to be illegal).

BTW, that jag would look ok if he took the hubcap-looking rims off and got some classy 5 or 6 spoke chromes. I personally like the shiny (bling) look, but it has to be done with some balance and thought.

That said though, i have been reading my Japanese VIP Style magazine, and with all the drop-dead gorgeous cars in there, they all seem to prefer the black (or green!) tint. Chrome is everywhere else though - wheels, wing mirrors, B-pillars etc...

It depends what look you are after...
