Window Tinting / Pics?

I'm just taking delivery of my Blk/Blk S550 in a few days. Is there a specific tint color that works better on the S550? i will probably stay around 20%. Pics appreciated. Thx

I would do 20% all around, I like my cars with dark tints so usually I even add a front tint around 50%

You also have to remember that the S-Class comes with reflective glass so it will look darker than 20%

If you have the "power side window shades" and leave them up, along with the power rear shade, it darkens the whole car and you may find you can get away without having tint on! That reflective glass really looks dark when those shades are up.
