Should I tint or no. If so Black or Silver tint
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?

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.

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.

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.
