hell you got spectra blue...try to find a place that has the dark metal blue tint like on the MBs but darker blue/graphite look. I have seen a black TLS with this. looked nice.

For what its worth, I'll give my 2 cents
I just got my gs back from the tinting place yesterday and it looks great.
The film is called Platinum and its made by Llumar.
Its sorta subtle silver look... and on my Cinnabar color its looks pretty good. I had to get 20% tho so its not too dark (gotta be careful because of Alabama's 32% law)
Hope that helps

i'm going see if tinting place can do mirror tint and if i dont like it they can redo to black one..

black tint
i always would go with the black tint, i see the other shades on cars and it doesn't really appeal to me imo. You can't go wrong with black tint, i have 5% on my lexus, and plan on adding additional layer to the back windows and the rear glass. just gotta be careful backing up...

Window Tinting San Diego
I just had my 03 ES 300 tinted by U.S.A. Sun Tint #2, in Vista, CA. I'm sure there are shops nearer downtown. You might call your
dealer and ask for a recommendation.
My installer uses SunGard products, and you can choose the darkness. I chose
20% light transmission for the rear window because I wanted to cut down
on the heat coming in that large slanted window. For all the other glass on my crystal white car, I had 35% installed. It took him about 2 1/2 hours and, I'm pleased with the look. It is a grey or charcoal tint. Cost was $174.00. The next day I had my wife's Honda Civic done for $145.00.
The difference in heat transmission through the window is immediately
noticeable. My wife used to swing the visor to keep that hot CA sun from hitting the side of her face. Now, there is no need to move the visor. :-)
SunGard has a web site. The install is warranted for as long as the owner
has the car. I believe they also have a page with the laws of each state.
