Just another idea.... If keeping the chrome emblem (which I think is the right call), you could do the gloss black grill but leave the top and bottom strips chrome. I saw this in person on a dark car and it looks good.

Here's the grille after I got it painted. I kept it chrome emblem, but blacked out the top and bottom bars too so it would look a little different from the OEM midnight grille.


and SRG, here are two side shots of my car. One in the light and other in my closed garage. I was wondering how ~35% tint would look on the front windows in both lighting environments. anything you can mock up to somewhat resemble 35% would be fantastic

IMO....I'm not sure what you are looking to do with the tints, but i just got 20% done...and i'm extremely satisfied...not TOOO dark but enough to give the car a great look, but i would maybe do 30% or 20% if you can, the car will look great. but heres 35%.
