2008 C350
New Member

I've been on this forum for a while and trying to learn everything about the C350. I finally got it Thursday. Brand new 2008 C350. Enjoying every bit of it. Here's are the Specs:

2008 C350 Sport
Palladium Silver
Multimedia Package
Panorama Sunroof
Ipod Integration Kit
MB Tex
17" AMG Wheels

Price Paid: $40,200

I would post pictures but I just got the car tinted today, and the tint still has alot of water showing. I also just ordered the Zaino Ultra Protection package. Next thing I'm planning to get is the clear bra. Any Virginia owners know a good place to get it?

Finally got a chance to post some pics.

Any backside picture showing the rear window? I'm trying to decide whether 35% in the back would be dark enough to match the color of my pano roof. I'd appreciate an "in the sun" picture.

And any issues at night time looking out the back with 35%? Anyone with 25% and below care to comment? I like the look of dark tints, but with all the idiot drivers out there, I don't want to compromise visibility at night.

i'll take some tomorrow.. the 35% is not dark enough on mines to kind of blend in with the pano roof... thats why i wanted to go 20%.. but with my prior car, i got pulled over alot and had 2 tickets for my tints.. so wanted to go legal this time...

well for me i have no problems looking out with 35%.. it is much clearer to my prior 20%...

No no backside picts OH!! Seriously though, I didn't take any of the back, its 35% all around, to me its too dark, going to meet with the tint guy to see about going down to 50%, but he said it might not make much of a difference due to the car being all black inside.

No problems at night at all, in fact, it helps to cut down on glare from behind from those big *** POS SUV's and lifted trucks.
