Black/Beige E550 Tints

I am having tints installed on my car tomorrow but wanted to see what others had done. The car is black with a beige/almond mocha interior. I'd like it to be quite dark but I'm worried that if the back is darker than the front, the lack of a pillar will make it look weird.

Does anyone have pics of tints on their coupes?

Hey,
I am hopefully gonna get my tinted by the end of the month, but I think you should go for one colour all around. A bunch of guys put up pictures of their cars with the tint and I am pretty sure all of them went for just one colour and not one light colour in the front and dark in the back. I think 20-25% is a pretty good choice.

Before I tinted my w209, I did consider to our darker tint in the rear windows. I decided against it because I felt that it would look less elegant.

I could only tint down to 35% because of local law.

The tint number means how much light is allowed to go through. So, 95% tint is like no tint at all, 95% of the light would pass into the cabin.

I have the camel colored interior (sorry I don't recall the specific color name), but my exterior paint is black and I have 35% ceramic tint all around including panorama roof. It's not too dark looking into the car. Driver Visibility is fine. I took pics with my BlackBerry on a sunny day and that's about how dark I would go. No darker... I will post pics later.

Some people reverse the number, so he is saying he got 5% tint which is basically limo tint haha. Wow thats dark!
