50% all around

_Bondo_

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.

Just did mine 35% all the way around Cept windshield. Suntek carbon. I wish I would've done 50 all around like my previous car. 35% is too dark for my taste

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.

here you go. It has a very slight green tint to it and I'm not sure if thats from my car or the tint.

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.

Gonna be switching to 50% suntek carbon tomorrow. I wonder if it will have less green hue to it. Anyone else gone with 50% suntek carbon?

vipsa

It has a green hue because your windows are already tinted slightly blue. By adding brown/dark yellow that creates green.

I thought our stock windows have a slight green tint not blue.

how'd you like the seasucker mount .. I have a set for my road bike but never tried on the car yet.

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?



Here's the same angle with 50% tint

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/

Nope don't need it on w204. I had a c230 too so I know exactly what you're talking about. Pita having to remove the door panels to install them.

+1 Tint Protector is awesome. Great stuff that lasts.

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?

aznmode

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.

boom132

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...

Oh well, not my problem any more... I've traded it in! Whoop whoop...

aznmode

Same thing happen when I had my w203 tinted. The guy didn't know what I was talking about til I brought the car back with vertical scratches on my windows.

popp

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....

aznmode

What brand tint do you have?

nismosr

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.

aznmode

Did u get it done? Do u mind posting pics. I'm curious to see if the green hue is present on yours. Thanks.

Its too dark out for pictures now, I'll try to get a few tomorrow.

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.
