20% would look good, but please check your state laws regarding tint. I know in Illinois, the max you can go is 35% all around. Some cops here are *******s so they like to bother people for stupid stuff like window tint.

Definitely tint. While you could easily look through the wheel thread & picture thread stickied at the top of the section, picture whoring is always fun.

Here is 25% front/15% rear (stupid TX tint laws)

i understand, it would have to be 35F/20R here in FL but to be correct for the law 28F/18R.

so i dont know if i should go 35 all around or 20. its a decision thats bugging me

35 front and 20 rear would be perfect any darker and its not fun at night..

35 all around.. Wish I could go darker in the rear, but laws says 35 all around here.

If the weather is devating, the ****** have to stay in. Otherwise they freeze off their tints. I know I know... I'm a dick

That's fine I know I make a lot of mistakes, But some times is the phone corrections. Debating, whether, and or maybe a letter more than needed tint"s" is because im not paying attention, I just post in a rush, but I'm gonna have to be more aware so I don't get flame in the forum lol.
As long as is all good in the hood and we keep it clean, I dont have a problem

You Sir are a good sport. I was just having some fun and yes, even my wife says I am a dick.

My honest opinion is a white E63 with pano looks awesome with 20%. I believe white E63s look incredible.

well I used to be called D.*******, we sit on the same boat lol

I just hope is not to dark because I don't want to ruin the looks and the luxury of the car by doing something that most people do on the hondas lol. The car is just to professional to ruin it, so I'm being very careful

Below is a shot of my SL55 with 35%. I like it, but sometimes think 20% would have been the way to go. I think 35% is the safe move, but 20% on a white car would look great.

I enjoy having the privacy of tint, gotten so use to them I feel naked when I drives my Brother's P-car. I'm at 20% all around for about 8 months, been pulled over 4 times (young, dark skinned, dealer plates for over a year and driving a benz bound to happen lol) and haven't gotten anything for my tints. CA law is 70% max all around. Just don't be a dick to cops and most of the time they don't trip.


EDIT: here's mine at 20%

I had 35%, but kept getting tickets in NY. So I removed the tint, and I am very happy with it - I like the clean, clearer look of the car. Plus, visibility is much better with the side mirrors.
