   If your tinting rear windows, then deffinately dark smoke.

   Limo looks tacky (imho). Light smoke is where it's at. Looks good and will not atract the police as much as limo would. And plus... when I had limo tints once upon a time, I felt it a little difficult to even look at the kerb from inside the car because they were too dark.
