ya man they are long rubber strips kind of thick too. what are they for?

Guest0001

anyone have a full limo tint all around on there C-class sedan in silver.

even if its not full i just want to see some pics on how it looks thanks

Harris

I think those strips are to prevent water and dirt going into your door. I would ask them to wrap the strip with moleskin and put them back on. Thats what I did to my car and I dont have any scratches ever since.

jasonrosen

how bad is it if they remain out and also how and where do u put the moleskin and how do the peaces go back in

oggle

The tinters should have to put them back. That's irresponsible if they just took it out and threw it in the trunk.

If you leave them out, water might end up in your doors and maybe short out some circuits or corrode some metal parts on the inside.

jasonrosen

so i just spoke to this guy at the ARTOFTINT this upscale tinting place in nyc and told him what the tinters did... he is like u got to get those peices back in asap. He also told me something interesting... instead of using moleskin fabric he said go to staples and buy velcrow use the soft part of it and velcrow it on to those peaces that they removed.. anyone can do this u just have to remove the peace

Harris

Well, if you are an adventurer, you may try this velcrow thing. But moleskin is something has PROVEN to have solved the problem. Its your choice!

oggle

Hmmm... I looked at that piece when I was having my car tinted, and it looked just like the soft end of velcro pads too. I don't know what moleskin looks like so I didn't question it then.

jasonrosen

now do i take a 30 min drive to brooklyn to have them do it for free or should i go to staples and do it my self.... he said i could do it immeaditly (i got them tinted thismornign) because i didnt have to worry about the windo being opened and closed because that peice was missing do u htink the peice would be hard to get in and would require skill or should i go to brooklyn

Guest0001

not a sedan but dark tint, maybe someone can pshop one for you

Guest0001

that looks niceee.

do u get pulled over a lot?

oggle

I've been traumatized by dark tints in the front windows. Been stopped too many times to want to try it again.

darkfact

do you still have it on ur car?!?!?!?!

Cuz I used one just like that on my car. I had to open the windows at night to see the cars around me! LOL... I left it for one week only then removed it.

Guest0001

lmao are u serious damnn lol

what about the rear visibility?

also i was thinking about doing limo (100%) in the back windows and 35% (65% visiblity) iin the front windows. most of my friends have this, but i think it looks stupid doing limo in the back and then hardly doing the front. dunno , what u think i should do? leave alone? do 35 all around?

oggle

I think tint looks best when it's even all around. I don't like that chopped look.

christian655321

this tint is 35% all around including a front strip, but it looks very dark. i have not been pulled over ever, i dont even have a front license plate which is required by law in Maryland, i think the cops must like the car, i come home from work and drive next to cruisers some times, never had a problem.

Guest0001

thats only 35%?????

looks niceee, i think u convinced me to get it!

Not a good picture I guess, ill try to get more for you. I love it, but its a bish at night!

Mercedes

I also have full limo tint. Must be floridians love it, and I never got pulled over.

The cops down here do not bother about it much.

boylinator

I've had my windows tinted for quite some time now.....long before I was on this forum so needless to say, they are seriously scratched. It's really starting to bug me so I want to have it fixed. Does anyone know of a place in or around the LA area who knows how to tint the C230 correctly, fixing the scratching problem?

beatgarden

try car audiocraftsmen in walnut they are really good ask for eric! he a benz owner too!

Buellwinkle

Search the forum, Ben (Mach430) recommended a place in Anaheim that was really great. Don't have their name and number but they are right off the 91 fwy at Tustin Blvd.

oggle

I went there and paid almost $300. The job wasn't all that good. They scratched my car when they were sitting on their stool tinting. The chair rubbed up against the side.

Also judging by the bubblesh still left in the rear window tint, it's nothing exceptional.

AMGDood

try distinctive in woodland hills...I got all windows except windshield tinted there for 150. Great price and they have a lifetime warranty so if they screw up theyll fix it.
