Mirror tint is only for the ghetto or the barrio. Don't do it!

Or Hawaii. Mirror tint is very common there.

I have to agree though, mirror tint is going to take your w220 too ghetto. Of course its your choice what style direction to take, but I think your Benz would look better with a "murdered out" theme...even though it has chrome rims.

youve already tinted the tails and its black... so black out the windows.

I agree with you guys about the mirror tint. In regards, with the %, have you check the current tint law in MD? Current Legal window tinting limits for cars are available for free at http://www.TintBuyer.com. They also gives information about tints like its types, quotations and help locate the best window tinters near your area.

Never been a fan of mirror tints. IMO you should black the windows out if you are going to put tints, other wise, don't.
