Kind of a bad angle, but this is 30% all around. I don't agree with putting lighter tint up front--all the natural light that comes in from the front windshield creates a nice even and natural gradiant from the front to the back. Black interior.

Any pictures? Where did you get it done and how much? I'm getting mine done this weekend. going to do Formula 1 Pinnacle 50% all around and 80% on windshield. Hopefully that'll be light enough to keep the CHP away.

I had LLumar 30% ceramic (CTX) tint installed on mine. The ceramic makes it look a bit darker than it is, but it's perfect with my dark interior. Nothing on the windshield. I had 5% all around and 35% on my windshield on my old car and even with Doctor notes and Secretary of State/DMV letters I was getting raped by the cops. Now the 30% CTX is perfect for me.

This is now 50% all the way around. I like it a lot better than the 35. In certain light it almost looks like there's barely any tint. What I don't like is the greenish hue of Suntek carbon. I don't believe this is because of the stock being green. If anything IMO stock has more blue but not as blue as older mercedes.

Here it is without tint. Maybe I'm just color blind. What do you guys are think?

Does the C300 need moleskin applied? My C230K needed the moleskin attached otherwise, the trim gouged the tinting, causing scratches and imperfections. I know this first hand... I installed the moleskin on one side, and after 2 years, not a scratch; the other side... well, I never got around to it, and sure enough scratches/gouges everywhere... http://www.tintprotector.com/

Just want to ask here, when you have the back window tinted, do you have the area over the highmount stop light in the back window trimmed out or just cover over it?

I looked at my 2010 and the stop light is on the bottom center of the window. There's nothing on top. The stop light is not touching the window so they didnt cut out that part out on the tint film.

No kidding... that was a PITA... and the funny thing, I tried explaining this situation to the guys tinting it, and they said, no no no... we've done plenty of Mercedes tints, and you don't have to apply that "stuff". DEAD WRONG. As I said, I did the one side, and never got around to the other, and gouges all through the tint...

They are awesome! I bought them because I can use them on all 3 of my cars withouts having to buy a rack for all 3. I've done 2500km with the bike on the back with no issues....

i may do the same set up like you .. from the trunk to the roof, I was going to mount it like the usual roof to the front windshield.

Any pictures? Where did you get it done and how much? I'm getting mine done this weekend. going to do Formula 1 Pinnacle 50% all around and 80% on windshield. Hopefully that'll be light enough to keep the CHP away.
Previous cars had 30% all around and 80% windshield and so far been lucky haven't had issue with CHP.

The factory windows had a kind of greenish hue to it. With the formula 1 installed, it's got a bit of brownish hue. I didn't go too dark, 50% all around and 80% on windshield. But with the white body and black interior, it still looks pretty dark. My father's W204 C300 with black exterior and beige interior has the same tint but looks nearly clear.
