Black or nothing. I have 18% black all around and it looks great. Even with black tint, you get an element of reflectiveness. If you walk up to the car and peer inside then you will see the reflection of your face before you see the contents of the vehicle.

I saw a new-model Benz C-class last week with mirror tint. It looked awful. The sky was bright blue at the time, and it just made the windows look bright blue. It looked wacky.

I have regular smoke black and it looks sharp.

30 on the sides, 20 on the hatch and 40 over factory on the roof.
