I have a silver 1988 300SE with blue leather interior. I am going to be moving to South Carolina, and I'd like to have tinting put on the windows to reflect/absorb/block out some light to keep the interior a bit cooler.

I'm completely in the dark (ha-ha) about all types of window tinting (silver reflective, black, etc). I'd like to get a general idea of what would look nice on the car and effectively block light, while still being usable (see out the windows at night) and legal.

Also, I want it to be high-quality... if that means getting it professionally done, could anyone make any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

You might want to check into the tint laws in South Carolina before you make a investment in tint that may cause you problems ( tickets ) down the road.

This is what I have been able to find:

Number of inches a tint brow may extend down the windshield: Not defined
Degree of film authorized for the windshield below the tint brow: Not defined
Degree of film authorized for front side windows: 27%
Degree of fiml authorized for rear side windows: No limit
Degree of film authorized for the back window: 27%

go with 30% all away around,minus the front windshield,i used Sun Guard on my Riv with the Diamond Warranty and it looks great,plus if something happens to the film they replace it no questions asked!! good luck!

30% is not enought, 20% is perfect level, I have 35% on the front and rear and its just not dark enough. 20% is perfect.

You have obviously never spent much time in the states South of the Manson-Nixon laaaahn. You best not **** off the cops unless you want to go waaaay out yonder to the Courthouse city slicker. Seriously, don't do eet. Go with what they say is legal, I have known State Troopers in the Southern Atlantic states to carry a tint meter. In Virginia, they will confiscate your radar detector at the very least.

I live in TX and they are usually **** about it but i've never had any problems.

might not be enough Omey but his state law doesnt allow him to have 20%,27% is the lowest he can go,And i never heard of 27% so he must go to 30%, and i too live in Tx and have 5% on my Riv and just wutever mercede sput on the s500(35% i think)..i agree that 30% is light but if you cant have but 27% and they dont make it then 30% is what u are stuck with..pissy *** laws anywayz
