i have 35% on the front and rear sides, and 30 in the rear. it looks even since you get the light coming in from the front window through the back. and yes they do a very nice job and felt is included, i think i paid like 270? don't really remember. kinda pricey but worth every penny.

thanks for the compliments on the car. i need a drop desperately, but i can wait for that.

They just wrapped the front of my C230k last week. Awesome job!
I asked about a tint job. $550 all windows. Yes, a little pricey. But, they do very good work. All high end cars in the shop. This is using non- metallic tint. I am going for the 73% all around. This will keep me out of trouble with police that have nothing better to do.

Got all my cars done there except the MB. They remove all passenger windows, tint the whole thing, and let it sit under a heat lamp, that way you have no gaps. Great and best price around too...

no problem bro... did you have any problems with the FM radio going bad or GPS if you have? Been reading on forums that if they don't know what they are doing that they will mess up your fm radio and GPS.
