I'm thinking of tinting my new c400!
It's obsidian black with cranberry interior, There are so many choices of window tint out there and I'm having trouble to decide what brand/shade I should go for!

Can you please post pics of your ride with the brand and shade of tints?

Thanks!!!

 

I went with Llumar CTX 35 charcoal. 35% all around

 

i am getting the formulaone pinnacle ceramic tint this weekend 30% all around.

 

Both Llumar ctx and pinnacle F1 are the top of my list.
Pointbreak, can you please post pics when you get them done?

CO2010, the 35% Llumar looks great on Silver!

 

you got it bud.

 

Carbon hybrid here as wanted it as black and not reflective as possible.

Have used LLumar, F1, 3M, Suntek Huper Optik before. All good. The installer doing a great job I find more important than the tint in all these companies top tiers.

 

Exactly! Getting it installed properly is key.

 

CXP tint here as well. Good installation and someone reputable who will replace on warranty it when it goes bad is key here in Florida, where tint takes the beating so your interior doesn't. Fortunately, many great installers around here. Tint is popular.

 

Solar guards premium film here. Anti scratch+glare.

 

Thx for the reply guys, any pics?

 

SunTek CXP 5% all windows 70% windshield. People who installed mine did an ok job, im very picky on how my tint looks and my brother has always done mine in the past but since i cant get him down here i had to use someone else. I just try not to look too closely at it to see some of the smaller bubbles. Other then that love the tint.

Edit: Tried attaching more pictures but it wont let me since i have previously posted them. when i get the car back from the dealer i will try to get some more. Depending on how ERIKA acts.

 

35% Ceramic tint from the dealership on top on the factory tint
and I tinted the whole car even the windshield

 

Well, I hope Erika acts accordingly! 😂
Isn't hard to see through 5% at night?
I bet it looks great though!

 

I'm in Broward County. She better play nice!

 

There are some strange rules here in Oz. I have a C200 W205 which has no tinting. I compare it to the C250 which has the usual privacy glass. Front is darker than my fronts and all rear glass is fairly well black.
Australian Design Rules state that as long as the 'privacy glass' was installed at factory and complies with exporting country's regs, then they are legal in Aus. However, if you were to tint your windows to 'exactly' the same as factory, then they are illegal.
Max tint must be no less than 35% VLT.
I will still tint mine to the same level as the C250. Does anyone know what the VLT for the C250 is?

thanks

 

My new C300 is being tinted (for free as part of the dealer incentives I negotiated) with nano ceramic tint, with no color. I don't need or want the car to be darker. I do want protection from heat and UV.

 

I went a shade under Texas legal (22%)and have on my cars/trucks. I want uniform tint all around not darker in the back vs. front side.
Brand 3M on my C300.

 

I did the tinting yesterday with 15% ceramic. I have C450 AMG package Polar White and it looks perfect. I had the same setup on Infinity G37xs. Left turns on a rainy night, i had to open the window to see clearly because it was to dark.
Does anyone know where is the light sensor that dims the driver mirror as well as the back window? I am having trouble at night when a car i behind me. Both mirror and back window.

 

I had

install 35% tint on the front, 20% rear and a 6" 5% strip on the windshield.

 

I did mine in Suntek 15%. The factory privacy tint looks as if it's 20%.

ADR allows tinting to any VLT on Windows that are behind the line of site of the driver. I.e. Rear passenger Windows and rear window. You're not likely to get caught however as this is my second car with 15% (first was Obsidian black this ones Polar white)

Any darker and night becomes "night"
