I used to have metallic tint on my black SC . It was just "o.k." looking. I like it alot better with the dark black that i have now.
To be fair though , I installed the metallic tint myself with tint from an auto store. The tint i have now was done professionally,with high quality tint.
So its hard to really compare the 2. But i still say the black tint is the way to go.

I have almost the darkest possible you can do all the way around, windshield included and have not gotten a ticket for it in two years, and its on a white car so the contrast is even more

well I mean if you have a decent set of headlights then its not too bad because sitting inside the car during you wont even know its there, probably because all the rest is so dark, but its not any worse because of that, i still have to kind of lean forward to see around medians when i turn left but thats because my side windows are so dark, so it doesnt really make it harder to see out, but it will make your car 100x darker, it completely changes it up, like in the picture looking straight into my windshield up above, my little sister is actually sitting in the car, and its a sunny day, the sun wasnt shining directly onto the car, but u would have no idea that she is in there unless she put her hand onto the steering wheel
