Photos -- Tint Changed the Whole Look of Lunar Blue CLS 63
Got 35% tint all around and detailing done this week and it is really making the lunar blue paint pop now. Finally took some better pictures. Let me know what you think.
BTW, when I try to post picture urls in a post they show up as question marks. How do I fix this?

You can really see the tint in this one. Got a drop + spacers, markers, tint, res delete done now. Only thing left on the short list is wheels + bigger tires then tune.

Can definitely see more in the last picture. I would have expected the window tint to be a must on a white car but on the blue one, I'm surprised to see how it brings everything together. Mine will be black so I was not thinking tinting the windows more than they are but now that I see yours, maybe I'm wrong...

Here is a picture of the rear windshield in high sun where it really makes a difference given the steep slope of the cls rear windshield.

Never an issue man. Everyone's comments are allways valued. You have been down this road faster than most with these mods to this car but it is one of those things that once you see it for yourself you just need to share it especially if it looks on point and I think tint on this car looks good with any color. BTW, your ride does look sick.

Thanks! The tint is hard to capture in photos. It may be some reflection on the camera lens too. Here is another version of that shot that is a little truer I think as to the rear tint. I would not go darker.

I think it looks great on the lunar blue and has tied everything together, the car is a total head turner, on a black car like Vic's 20% works but on other colors I prefer the 35% to each his own

The blue with the tints looks great! Think about wrapping the chrome off? I that could look sick.
My car is at the tinters as we speak...will post pics later.
Signature pic is photoshop..

12 CLS63, 12 GLK350, 08 RR SPORT SC,
That blue tiny actually makes it look kinda clean. I've been thinking of tinting the windshield either 50% or 35%. Just worried it may screw with some electronics in the rear view if any.

I assume you mean back vinyl wrap around all the chrome accents. I think I would only do this only if I powedercoated my rims black or bought black rims but maybe it would look good with the stock color rims too. If you get yours done please post some pictures so I can get an idea of what it looks like.

Here is a better shot of mine with the chrome wrapped/wheel and badges done.

thanks! That really does help give me a idea what the black out option would look like. Guess I will have to decide for sure in a few months once I order new wheels.
