I'm thinkin about getting mine tinted tomorrow....if I decide to do it I will post pics

What Percent tint are you thinking? If you are getting it tinted, you might want to do feltskin. The older C-classes had a problem with tint getting scratched up but I don't know if they solved this issue for the 08 model.

I've never heard of feltskin....what is that?....how did the older models have a problem with tint getting scratched?....isnt that determined by the company doing the tint?

Shake

It's the lining against the window that is a little hard on mercedes. It would scratch the tint a little bit when rolling the window up and down. Felt skin is like a soft fabric thing that goes along the lining of door panel. It's not determined by the company, but if you find a good tint shop they should know what it is. Or make sure you find a shop that covers bubbling, scratching, and purpleing.

ok great....yeah that is important....but one problem is most shops will not warrenty work if you go below the state limit....I see you have 15% tint in your sig....that is awesome I'm sure....do you have any pics of what it looks like?....what % would you recommend on the mars red?

I think there was a thread already about tint. You can probably find it with the search bar at the top.

Most tint shops WILL do warranty work even if under state limit, mine redid my tint when I had bubbles.

I think 20% is a good number for tint. But if you want to be safe, then 35% is good, but that is a little light.

I hear that the tint law is really unconstitutional

Shake

You can still get tickets for it

What state do you live in?
