looking for tint % suggestions
I am picking up a white 98 E300 and would like to get the windows tinted. I am on the fence on if 35% all around is dark enough. Not really looking for a complete black out look though.

Can anyone comment or post pics with % tint they used?

Thanks,
Matt

I went with 35% all the way around excluding the windshield.

I got 15% on the rears and 50% on the fronts.... kinda wish i did the same tints all around. 35% is just right, especially on a white mercedes.
