Years ago I had 'Limo Tint' on my wife's Celica all around. She has a medical condition and I was able to get a NYS exemption. Been thinking of something on my black 13 GLK I just picked up. This thread has me thinking....

Ok here are a few pictures. This is Formula one Pinnacle 50% on all windows except windshield which has Formula One Air blue 80%. Sun roof has Pinnacle 5% and is open in these pictures (very little light gets through).

For some reason in the pictures it does look like it has a very slight greenish hue. In person it is more of a bluish brown, and some angles make it look nearly completely black.

My father has the same tint on his black C300 with tan interior, the tint looks much lighter on his car.

Thanks for the pics. I do see the slight green but definitely not as green as mine. How do you like having different colored windshield? I'm going to tint mine too as soon as I get my windshield replaced due to rock chip. But I think I'm gonna do more research before I decide as I'm gonna redo everything over again with another brand. I think I may go with Johnsons. My coworker has it and I don't see a hint of green at all.

I've thought about the air blue, any comments or thoughts?

this is my 3rd car with air blue 80 on the windshield, its so light you can't tell there is any tint. But it does do a good job blocking UV and heat.
Before getting air blue installed, my steering wheel would feel too hot to the touch after sitting in the sun for an hour, with air blue, its barely warm at all.

I believe F1 specs say air blue 80 blocks about 43% heat and 99% UV. pretty good for such light colored tint.

Does anyone have 15% front and 10% rear? I would really like to have a look at it?
I currently have 15% all round but thinking of going 10% rear doors and back screen for the wife and baby.

I have a black panoramic sunroof and curious how it would look too.

Thanks for all the pics! Debating 50% versus 35% myself on Iridium Silver with a Black interior. Same as you it appears. I've been stopped for 20% in Silver WRX. Never stopped with 35% but having a C63 in my area will draw enough attention from the law so thinking 50% is safer. I'm sure locals will use any excuse to stop me and see who's driving! I'm 63 and retired!

Turbo?

30% all round.

Just did mine with 20% here in Jersey and went to the DMV Inspection Station to do my inspection and they didn't even looked at it. Since this posting was originally open, laws have changed and they don't mind that much. I go all over the place and cops don't even pay mind to me (maybe the salt and pepper hair distinguished look) or my car.

My main purpose of getting tint is to protect my interior and so it's not as hot during the summer. So I'm not sure what you're going for but I like the stock look as much as possible without getting the cops attention. As you notice I still have my front license plate too. In my area the cops won't really bother you unless if you've obviously broken the law or in some cases you happen to be driving at 2am downtown when all the night clubs are closing. Then the tint, or no license plate is an excuse for them to pull you over to make sure you're not drunk. So I probably could go darker but not my preference. With 50% on black interior, it will look slightly darker than it would on lighter interior on my car. I think it would be perfect. But again in certain day light and at night, you probably cant tell I have a tint. But when it's cloudy or gloomy outside, it looks like I have 35% tint.
