actually it's not blue tint. it's the actual color of the glass that they use.
i wanted my windows on my coupe to look like that, but had no luck in finding tint that would look the same.

I guess i should have been more specific.
The tint is actually glass colouring not an external tint.
Anyway... the C 32 guys knew what i was refering to...

i know the blue-tinted windows are not really tinted. it's made that way with the color.
because of MB refer the those windows as blue-tinted windows that's why i call them blue-tinted windows
Vince:
good luck on finding the tint that you want
if you want the blue tint like the ones on the C32 you might have to go straight to the MB dealer and ask them about it. cuz i don't think there will be any tint that are close to the oem windows
again good luck man. hope you can find it.

To Tint or Not to Tint: That is the question.
I already have the bluish tint from the sports package.
should i tint it anyways?(although i won't be able to tint a lot to the NY State Law; dunno the limit.)

i actually really prefer the blue glass over window tint. I wish mine came with that.
not tint...i have the bluetint glass on my C32 and they are just fine. blocks out heat quite well. don't tint unless you really don't like ppl peek into your car.

I like the tinting. I put it on mine, and i love it. It blocks out the heat very well.

Don't tint. I saw a silver one here in Toronto with black tint, not the gratest. And besides you wanna be seen in a nice ride.

No matter what car i will ever have i have to have it tinted i will never have a car with out it for a cupple reasons
1. it looks alot better
2. makes the car look more expensive
3. hate when people see me in the car.
4. helps block out heat.
5. i hate the way it looks inside the car when its so bright and sunny i like it when its darker and dim.

i totally agree. tint changes the whole car. and i dont particularly love to be seen by just anyone when im driving.... i like to be in my own little world in the car hehhe

Whats wrong with being seen? As far as making the car more expensive I think the car should speak for itself. I dont think that a $300 tint is gonna make a Benz look more expensive. Thats why you got that nice 3 point star on your hood. As far as the heat part you guys have a point. It does make life much more bareable during the summer days. The bottom line is it's up to you and what you like. I know there was a post on earlier when someone had some free time on their hands and went through all sorts of colors for tints. Try to find it in the earlier posts.
And just do what ever makes you happy.

1. It looks alot worse.
2. It cheapens the look of the car (you are 5X more likely to see tinted window on a beatermobile - they almost ALL have tinted windows b/c its "a ghetto thang.")(other than in areas where you really, really need it, like Phoenix or Miami).
3. I don't care about people seeing me in the car (I am not Michael Jackson).
4. The brighter and sunnier in the car, the better.
I also don't like it because its just film, that tends to get scratched up and look cheesy after a while. Its also almost impossible to get off the rear window without great difficulty and damaging the heater lines.
Of course, all just opinions. To each his own.

I agree 100% with SoCal240/6 !!!
in addition, I don't think BLACK tint helps out too much with the HEAT because of the radiant heat given off...feel how hot the inside of the windws are AFTER you tint.

all iv'e got to say is that i love deep dark tint especially on a black car. it really does change the whole look of it.... do what you like but beware man. if u like darker illegal tints be prepared to face the wrath of the cops. i never thought it would happen to me but today i got a tinting ticket! rrrr they were pulling over everyone for seatbelt and tinting violations.....??? they had the little machine ready and i got scr***d. haha i used to laugh when i heard about someone actually getting a ticket for that

i got one in san diego on my truck. got the no front lic. plate ticket, and front window tint ticket.
officer didn't know the laws though. it was a long story, but i got it signed off, without having to remove the tint. i did have to install the front lic. plate

it was actually because it was too dark- in NY you can only tint so fark on the side windows- the rear can be darker
Out Of Control!!
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Makes you feel alot better, don't it?
Seriously, if you know the rules, and go over them, you don't expect an officer to pull you over to share his jelly donut, do you?
