Hey Peabers - 35% looks good - I have a white with black int. also and was thinking to go with 35 all around. Still shopping tint places. Are you happy with the work at FX? Did they remove any panels, trim, etc.? What was the price?

35% turned out to be a little darker than I would have preferred but it does match the pano roof very well. I was happy with the service at FX. Wayne was knowledgeable and on-time. There are still a few bubbles left and I am hoping that it will disappear in the next few days.

Not that I know of... they did have to take off the door panels because the spacing is so tight on the windows.

my tinter didn't need to remove the door panel.

and moleskin's not needed for the 204 as it already has the felt liner on the inside of the window unlike the 203.

I'm tinting mine tomorrow at 35% just the rears. No tinting in the front side for me - don't want to be hassled by cops. I will post pictures once installed.

just had mine done this weekend @ 55% and i made the right choice for what I wanted...yea I know some people say going 50+ is a waste, but not in my opinion - its dark enough at night for me and on cloudy days and keeps enough sun out during the day -

i will post some pics this weekend -

I did mine in 50% all around, in BC we arent allowed to tint the front windows at all but it looks almost factory. Didn't want to go to dark nor did i want to have two different tint%.

I'm satified with the result

did you see the installer putting tints on your windows? did he cover the speaker grills before spraying water onto it?

I wasn't there - just drop off and left. From the looks, didn't seem like there were any water stains on the speakers. Either he did a really great job or he clean up pretty good afterwards.

my C350 is black w/ grey interior.

the moment i got 35% all around i regretted. 35% is not dark at all, should go for 15%.

I did 15% on the back three windows, then the rear main windows were done in 28% for a gradient effect.
