Personally I think no tint looks best with white Mercedes. If you must, go for something light like 35% all around.

I agree Newt...even in Las Vegas with the 100+temps it is not a problem. Looks nice and clean and people can see the beautiful inside..:-)

Im not sure what is legal in your state, but 35% is legal in NC...ive got 20% on all of my cars, but you have to be careful when getting them inspected...I like 20% b/c you can still see some movement inside during the day time, but at night it's not too dark to see out of...good luck with your decision.
