Tint
I have a 2009 c350 and am going to bring it in for tint this week...can anyone tell me what tint would match the roof perfectly? Pictures would be good if you want to share too; I was thinking 20% all around, but don't want it to be too dark or look silly. My paint is palladium silver, if anyone can share their pictures and describe their tint, that would be wonderful.

Check (or tell us what state your from) the max legal tint allowed and go with that. Please dont do the darker in the rear, make all windows to the same percentage. I personally did 35% all around its perfect. Dark enough to where people cant see whos driving but still legal if I get checked.

I have 20% all around and it is difficult to see out at night, especially when reversing and in dimly lit neighborhoods.
I personally think 20% looks very aggressive. If I could do it again, I would probably go 30-35% just for visibility.
Califonia legal limit is around 70%, which is negligible in appearance. I have never gotten into trouble for my tint, while I hear about people getting tickets all the time.

Seeing out at night is not a problem and keep in mind that I have horrible vision which has been obviously corrected.

I have 50% front and 20% rear. I was hesitant at first but the 20% makes the front look way darker than it actually is and honestly its hard to tell a cop from a regular car for me with just 50% front tint at night

i have 35% all around and 5% in back large window, it makes the 35% darker. I have 20% in my previous car, it was way too dark and took away from the class i think.
