Here are som more pics from the garage. The last one shows the difference between the rear and front windows. There is a huge difference between the 2 and with how dark the rear windows are it really makes the fronts darker.






Next on the list:

Items for my boat
Trunk Lip
CF front Lip
Pioneer AVIC

Boat items first and the rest is in no particular order. You have to have your priorities...right?

What do you guys think about windshield tinting? Like a really light tint just to block the sun's intensity? Does it look too drug dealer or does it go well with the other tints? Also, there might be scratching problems with the winshield wipers.
The tint shop i went to 6 days ago had a poster of tint laws in CA... it said no darker than 50%

to give you an Idea Lino is 5% (meaning 5% light penatration) I had my winshield tinted on my M5 and i ran into problems at night.

Oh well... Thanks for the clarification and info guys. I'll just probably get the back windows done at a medium tint.

Hey, does anybody have tinted windows on a Pewter C-Class? (Post pics), I've thought about tinting, but I don't know how it'd look on the pewter color... I mean, Black/White/Red/Silver cars look natural, but haven't really seen it on my color.

Thanks.

Pewter looks GREAT with tint... I've seen some on the road...
