looks good dude.

how are you liking the tint job? i just got a black/black c300 and i'm trying to figure out how much to tint. thinking either 35% all around.. or 35% on 4 windows and 20% on the rear windshield. having a tough time deciding.

if you could take some more pics from diff angles i'd appreciate it

I just did 35% all around and while it's dark it's not too dark. I didn't want to get pulled over and 20% is pretty dark.. I had 20% on my Porsche 911 and I got a ticket.

I'd only do 20% for the rear windshield, and 35% for the 4 windows. In california, the rear windows can be however dark you want them to be. 70% is the limit for the driver side/passenger window, so 35% would already be below it so there is a possibility of being pulled over.

well.. sometimes i'd wish my tint was a little darker but overall i'm pretty happy with the look of 35% all around. In CA, it'd be pretty rare to get pulled over for 35%. Ill try to post more pics of the tint later this week.

@mwaldron where did you get your grill? if you look at mine closely theres a small gap between the grill and the hood that's kinda annoying me haha

What exhaust shop did you go to? (Assuming you're in SoCal) I have quad tips right now, and a diffuser on the way. I'll probably put those on once I get my car back from the shop.

haha yeah! the weather has been kinda strange though.. one day itll be sunny and the next itll be cloudy and rainy haha. it's supposed to be a replica c63 grill. there's a small gap between the grill and hood that i've tried to minimize. it's kinda bothering me now that i look at it. i might end up selling it and getting one that has the chrome trim all around (and hope theres no gaps)

was it a pain to get that rear lip on all the way? i can not get mine to sit flush in the middle, it seems like that tabs are not long enough or something.

What exactly is the point in obscuring the plate, anyway? Here are my two plates for the world to see.
