Window Tinting
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!

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
