I put on a 20% reflective tint all around on my max. It looks pretty nice. Although, since you're car is super black, I think it'll look darker than mine, since I've got a sterling mist. But definitely go with the reflective film.

20% or 35% definitely. The 20% might be a bit dark, if you're concerned about gettin pulled over by the cops. I've also got a black interior and have 50% Platinum tint (metal tint, slightly reflective, doesn't fade) over the factory tint. I'm not sure what the factory tint is, but it is very slightly darker than clear glass. My tint ends up being probably between 35%-45%. No one will really be able to see into it with 20% on a black interior. They'll only see outlines of the people inside, not their faces.

So far so good..

I have yet to get pulled over for the 20%. One time I got pulled over for speeding, and the cop asked me how dark my tint was, I told him it was 20%, and he didn't say anything after that. I had a 92 Camry before, and had a 2% all around. It was SO dark, I could barely see out to drive at night. It was pretty nice, kinda felt like you were in your own world driving . (Never got busted for that one either). I hope I just didn't jinx myself by posting this!

15% would look hot too, and that's not too crazy, but if my car were black, i'd go with 2% myself..

Blacked out windows on black cars is too much black. In my opinion I want the classier look. Get 35% smoke tint. No platnum, no reflective, none of that. Just get the highest quality (non fade) 35%. I have it on my car and it looks awesome. You can see into the car some, you could make out who is driving, but the windows are pretty dark (smokey). It looks really classy, I wish I had a pic.

window tint

I just got my windows tinted last week. Went with charcoal metallicized 35% all around (except sunroof). It looks great, and the heat/light reduction is wonderful. I debated on bronze, but with black interior, I made a good choice.

So, if you are thinking about it, this shade and type would do you proud.

No pics, yet, but soon!

Anything costing less than $250.00 for the lifetime tint is good. The price also depends on the area where you live, what the shops can get away with charging, and how much demand exists for window tinting. I live in Levittown, PA (near Philly) and got mine done in Penndel, PA. Includes all four doors (small windows on rear doors too) and rear window. Don't get the sunroof done. Peace.

hmm..I paid $180CDN for 35% in the front and 20% in the back. It's metallic tint <not reflective or anything but metallic based> and has lifetime warranty.

If your wondering why I have different levels is because in Toronto, the front windows can only have 35% as the lowest tint, in the back you can go as low as you want.
