Tint Recommendations for 2014 Polar White E350

Hey guys, this is my first post on here and thought I would show my new car and get some opinions on some modifications! I bought the 14 e350 about a month ago, and first thing I need is tints!! I am debating on between 5 and 15%. My older c300 had 20% all around but felt it wasn't dark enough, even though it looked great with the grey color. Now that the car is white, I don't know if having almost pitch black tints will make it look good! Also considering doing front windshield. Opinions? Also, a buddy of mine took these awesome photos so if anybody happens to be around Grand Rapids, MI and wants some awesome photographs, lemme know!!

Get info on what level of tint is legal in your state.
Here in TX it's 35% and you can't tint the windshield other than the band at the top that many cars already have.
In many cases a blackout tint is a magnet for getting pulled over, but in the end it's your decision.

In my case I thought the 35% tint still helped with the overall lines of the car

I believe in Michigan we are not allowed to have any sort of tint on our front windows. Officer pulled me over once and told me my 35% was illegal. I have a couple buddies with all around tints and honestly I feel that if I'm going to get pulled over for tints, I might as well have my car tinted properly.
Having privacy as well is awesome as I hate that everyone can see me now, just feels weird.
I love the look of your car man, having replaced the chrome makes your car look 10x more stealthy.

Thank you, it also helped to look different with the wheels redone and the trim wrap. So I understand your wanting to make your car your own look.
I hear you about the privacy. I remember the first drive after tint, felt like I was in my private room lol.
I didnt know that no tint is allowed in your state. I do think that a very dark tint may get you pulled over with a ticket plus removal but that's your call.
Good luck with the mods! Those pictures are great, really well done.
