I do, i'm VERY appreciative of the cars he's bought me, (if thats what referring to lol)
Btw, I think the setup that you have on your c350 looks amazing, its has the privacy that im looking for, as well as being able to see in a little. Hows reverse at night with the 20% back windshield?
Also, i 100% agree that the different % looks a little bit weird.

Yeah - I think I nailed it this time - reverse at night is no issue, good luck with your decision,
I research a lot and ended up going with Llumar tint, lifetime warranty. Pinnacle is very highly rated and I would think they offer the same warranty.

15% all around. a little difficult to drive at night but you get used to it. HAVE to roll down windows if you're gonna parallel park.

It's Johnson Silhouette Charcoal brand tint. Search Johnson Window Films for info. It appears deep charcoal color and has a slight reflective appearance when close. That's why I chose a 'charcoal dye construction' instead of the smoked or blacked-out appearance. So far no issues or problems.

Doesnt work in CA. The only time I have seen them mess with people about tint is when they get them for something else. I have never seen them pull someone over just for tint unless he is having a bad day and looking for someone to mess with.

My car is white with a black roof. I've gotta say the tint looks absolutely amazing. Just perfect for my liking really. Another brand new CLS was as the shop and the guys informed me they are going with the exact same thing.
Haven't gotten a chance to take any pictures yet cause it started snowing but I'll get 'em up asap.

Here are some quick day time and night time pics as promised. Once again, like I said before, I honestly couldn't be happier with the tint! Not too much, not too little, just right. Exactly the way I wanted.

I'm sure most are aware of their own state's law, but here's a link for reference.

papashango, did you go with 35% all-around? Looks great - especially the night shot. How is the tint with your sunroof and panoroof set-up? I've thought about getting my sunroof tinted too - especially since summer is coming soon.

Yup I don't like the staggered tint look so I went with even 35% all around. At night it's proper dark from the outside but the beauty is that you can easily see everything from the inside. I didn't tint the sunroof cause it's black/has a tinted look as it is. The whole top part of the car looks even black now which I love, espescially at night.
