for reference, on my c32 i have 15% tint and my car is also black on black. it looks a tiny shade above 5%. it is dark, but still surprisingly easy to see from inside looking out. in sunlight, you can still see through it slightly. i would recommend 15% if you want an agressive tint, but not 5% blacked out. 15% in rear, 30% in front i think. you have to consider that the black interior makes tint look blacker too, maybe 30% might be good if you don't want it very dark.

Go for 20%!
IMO, the best looking is 20% ...
5% is too dark, you can easily get a ticket. 35% is legal, but you can see right through it. 20% is still illegal but at least it's not that dark. When I got my tints installed I asked for 20% but it's actually 16% ... at least that's what the cop's machine measured when I got pulled over

at first i got 24% on my car and hated it! was to light, so me being so picky paid a couple hundred more to get it done darker. Now the guy said he used 12%, but to me, looks a little lighter.
here is a pic with 24%
and 12% now

I've never driven a car with that level of tint on the windows and if it does impede your vision that much I'd find that VERY annoying..

35% is the darkest tint that i think you can see pretty clearly at night. i have 35% tints all around on my c55 and can see fine at night. 20% and darker will make it pretty difficult to see during night driving.
