Mine is 34% all the way around. Its kinda funny. Around here the cops will give you a ticket for illegal tint but you have up to 12 months to fix it, no matter how many tickets you get. So basically get it as dark as you want it, take off for inspection, put back on. Never had a ticket, partly because i got legal tint, and partly cause I'm dating the police cheifs daughter. I can do 55 in a 35 get pulled and not get a ticket I love it. Here are some opics of mine

Hey, Vince ... I like the blue sport tint, definitely. The orange one is kind of cool too, but I would only want it for "mood tinting", like if I really felt aggressive or funky.
Do you have any idea on how / where to get that blue tint? Who makes it? I drive a non-MB, but I want that on my silver car too -- saw it on an MB some time ago, and love it!
Thanks!

i have blue sport tint on my E. it's very subtle, but i think it's pretty d*pe. i used to think tinting at 35% (at the very least) was the only way to go. but now i think it depends on the colour of the car.

oh, sorry, i should have been more specific.
the blue tint comes stock from factory on all the AMG models. i don't think i've ever seen it being sold commercially as an after market product. sorry b, can't help you there.

Maverick666, here are a few links on the VWvortex site that I posted with the same issue.
Bay Area or Sacramento Tint Shop

Rick, I'm really looking for that blue tint in an aftermarket product for my car. Any ideas on where I might find it? Thanks!

They do the MBs for Ewing Autohaus. Mine has held-up well... only one small scratch. If you're real picky, ask the guy at Sun Masters for the name of the guy who can install moleskin.

C 32 AMG Blue Tint??
C32 Owners, do all your cars have that bluish window tinit?
I was wondering because i saw a CLK 430 at the dealer with that and i was wondering if it was exclusive to //AMG on the C class line.
Thanks!

yes, all the C32s have the blue tint.
from what i know i think all the AMGs have the blue tint and some of the other models you can also order blue tint such as the CLK430 you've seen.
the blue tint also came with the sport pkg for C-class except the C coupe
thats far as i know...hope that helped
