Pics + First Mod
2 layers of tint, 30% Huper Optik all the way around followed by a second layer of 20%. All the way around. Once the radar detector is hardwired, then I will do the front windshield as well.

Pics for now..

No restrictions on front window tint in florida? That would get pulled over every day here in the bay area.

Well, you can barely notice the front winshield if it has been tinted 50 or 60%. And cops usually give breaks to higher end cars -- at least from my experience.

I had 35 on the front of mine for a while and never once had a problem. I was in Fort Lauderdale at the time. I put a white towell on the headrest and you could not see it in daylight from the front.

Thanks! Traded for SLK, I had stumbled on this car, and had to have it Pics coming soon, my 'good' 8.1 MP's camera cable is up in Orlando, so there is no way to transfer the pics at this point.

Thanks! I believe the suede headliner is stock for CLS's and some other AMG's in the US.
