You name it i've had it or got it...
david...if you want to pull girls in your car you will definitely need 5% tint double wrapped....otherwise they will actually see you and change their mind

personal preference as far as aesthetics are concerned....but yes tinting def helps with the heat etc.....i personally would go with 20%...that is what i am doing next week...

The decision is more about your long-term career goals than your car and its color. If you're planning on abandoning your current career to pursue a life as a pimp or other ghetto-centric vocation then yes, you should unequivocally tint your SL windows, as dark as possible.

Otherwise you should embrace the commonly held conception that tinted windows on a top-down convertible looks retarded.

after u tint, make sure u leave the window corner untinted so u can still see the side mirrors... and that will look so gorgeous, professional and cool..

you want him to get beat up and laughed at? over here that isn't a good idea.

5% sucks at night to see out of it when backing up. just so you know and from my personal experience

20%...I have 35% and I always wish I went darker.
5% is too dark, 20 is perfect. It looks great on a white car. The dark interior will make your tints look darker too. Go for it.
