W204 w/ Pano Roof: proper window tint?
Hey guys, pretty stoked to be picking up the wife's 2010 C300 4Matic on Friday...replacing her '06.
Anyways, I'm wondering what those of you with the Panoramic roof have done for window tint. I'm trying to see what shades look right and what doesn't work.
Anyone have the pano roof and tint? Post pics if you don't mind and let me know what % it is.
Thanks!
BTW, the car is Arctic White with black interior.

Just wondering why your thinking of tinting the pano roof? it's got quite a tint on it anyway, surely it would lose that extra bit of light you get during the winter? when i had my windows done, i had the guy put a mock piece of tint (25%) over the pano and it looks too dark..
limo tint matches best, but for some, that's too dark.

I went with a 30% tint which is the darkest you could legally go in my state.
It looks just right in my opinion. With the rear sunshade up the back glass just blends in with the black pano roof very nicely.

Thanks guys...yep, tinting the other windows, not the pano roof.
My guy does a 30% and a limo. I'm not going to go limo (already had too many tint tickets in my other vehicles), so I think I will stick with the 30%.
Thanks for the pics Mr. Purple, looks good with that color on the car. I will get some pics up when I have it done next week for others to reference as well.

30% will be your best bet. Limo is way too dark.
Just for reference here are a couple pictures of mine with 50% tint.

I have an 08 Artic white with Pano roof and I went 20% although the cops meter says 11%. 50% is legal for the front and 35% for the rears in VA...but rules were made to be broken and I like my privacy...especially at 26 with haters everywhere!
