the sport package and AMGs had the blue glass to begin with. The tints are not blue in anyway. You have a luxury sedan with the light green glass.

Will they give us a good discount if we do it at the same time? If so, maybe we should just go get it done together. Thing is, I was also considering huber optik tint. Even though it's more expensive, I heard it's definitely worth it.

I was hoping to get my exhaust done before the meet, but haven't gotten a chance to talk to the trunk monkey. If trunk monkey and I don't get our exhausts done, maybe I'll do tint this weekend. I'll call you before the weekend.

California Tint does a great job, that's where I got my tint from too. I'm down for a tint meet, except I need them to take off my tint, just got a fix-it ticket.

Yeah. You can put them on and then drive down so they can take pics of your car with your plates on or even just check and see if you have them on. They will write it off afterwards. Happened to me last year but ended up paying $30

some does say fix-it...some are just a fine you have to pay. I think it's when you are not around your car they can only give you a fine. If you are present then they can give you a fix-it ticket and tell you to show the judge that it is corrected.

Frank, those are nice pix of your car. I have the same problem with that spoiler. (I got mine from ebay so there was no way to test fit it.) I actually tried to re-do it but it's just not a perfect fit. So, I said forget it and just let it be.
