I am planning to tint my windows wanted to see what you guys think.

I like the look now without the tint, but planning on tinting it.

If so, should I tint it the regular black tint or the silver tint to match my silver car.

I was planning on doing about a 30% dark tint.

What u guys think?

I would go with black tint. And I love the shot of the SL in the garage in your sig, very mean looking.

I would prefer the silver tint.

Dont do the silver, it TOO much on silver car... stick with black, it looks classy.. silver tint is for the honda crowd.

Agreed...silver tint is way too much silver - I've seen it on a silver SL and it does not look very appealing, at least not to me. The black tint gives it much better contrast.

Mine are "medium" all the way around.

I did black tint, 35% rear, 30% sides on my Capri Blue...It looks great, but the 35% is just a tad too dark at night...stick with 30% is my advice.

If you’re interested I have a few sets of photos of various SLs with 5-30% tint... Let me know
And the sliver would seem a little too

Notkts,

That would be great if you could give me some photos of the SL with 5-30% tint.

Thanks.

These are just a few.... But you get the idea. I also have some more interior shots of the SL55 with/5%. It gives you an idea of what it will look like from the inside. I have a 30% and 60% double layer of tint on the ESV and anything less than 10% at night you almost need to roll the windows down to get a proper view w/o streetlights around you.

Personally, If you have the Ash or Stone interior I wouldn’t go any lighter than 35%. I put 30% all around on my SL *Stone* when I first picked it up and to me the tint ruined the interior color it’s just one of those things. But, if I had Black or Berry it would be less intrusive and I would of stuck with it.

Sorry that they were resized.... I didn't have the time to convert some from the .gif to .jpg

Thanks NOTKTS. Man that was great. Nice photos I like the 1st one espcially.

I agree with you anything less than 10% would be to too much.

No problem.... Good luck with your choice
And one last tip: NEVER go to one of those gas-station tinters with the make shift booth that cost $25-50. A good shop with a good quality tint will run around $150-$225.
