I think tint looks great. It keeps the car cooler in the sun and it really makes the car's overall look tie together. I think it gives the car a slightly more sporty character. The car looks too stock and slightly more elegant without tint.

The car looks like an aquarium without tint, everything inside is visible. 
Also it's impossible to survive without them here. If you have beige interior it is better. The previous owner of my car, even tinted the windshield, I feel like I'm in a graveyard at night.

So everyone's opinion says ceramic tint is best? I'm also looking into tinting. The heat is unbearable at times with black interior. Feels like I'm in an oven. I also want it to look best

Being a bicyclist and a driver....all I can say is please don't tint your front windows as dark as your rear ones. Being able to know whether another driver is looking at you or not is very important for safety.

I noticed that when you tint a car really dark it tends to look old. Ever noticed those really nice clean old school cars always have no tints and tend to give off that "new" look? I'd go with a 70 or 6o tint ceramic. Cars tend to look cleaner and new that way. Just my 0.2 lol

If your car experiences hot sunshine, tint it for the sake of occupant comfort.
Otherwise it’s just cosmetic or for privacy reasons and that’s a matter of individual taste.
Personally I prefer the tint look.

I think tint is a matter of personal preference. I like an extremely light tint, personally -- enough to know it is tinted, but where you can still see through the car in daylight. You still get the UV protection and it looks clean and slick, IMHO.
However, neither of our current cars has tint. I think convertibles look just down right stupid with the top down and tinted windows up on the highway, and I don't like tint on the big rear window on the Coupe. If I move to what you guys are driving, though...probably a very light tint.

Tint protects your interior and reduces the cabin temperatures those reasons alone you should get your windows tinted never mind that it adds to the look of your vehicle.
Tinted 20% all around except windshield and LOVING it

2010 Irridium Silver MB C63 AMG Sedan
I had tinted my '09 Obsidian but had not tinted my 2010. Each time I looked at the Irridium Silver I kept thinking it would look great with Tint. Without tint it just looks like a goofy C Class... So I am going for 35% Lumar all around. This should make it nice a smoke with still some visibilty. I don't like too dark.
Khmer I am set for my tint appointment at 9 am tomorrow!!
Thanks guys!
