Not limo. A little lighter where it kind of gives off that greyish (charcoal) appearance instead.

yeah, either charcoal or they have a bluish tint(smoke) ive had both and i have to admit the smoke looks really good from the inside out. the charcoal gives everyone yellow headlights(except for the good hids though)

i have the charcoal now

IMHO i cant stand it and makes it look like something from autozone, might as well get that half charcoal and half mirror going up to the top

here you go, make the Z unique.lol

Mine is 20 in the back and 35 in the front, looks really sharp at night and you can see trough during the day.
Well, its a law in canada, they have to see trough your front windows and windshield must stay clear of all tint.

18% on my DG, personally I think that 15% looks way too dark on that light silver. That 20% looks really nice on the SS one though.

looks sweet...can't really tell that the rear is darker than the front...is it more noticable in person? do you think 35% is good enough for the rear to be less obvious as to what is inside the trunk?
