Blue Tinting....
The C55 comes with Blue Tinted Glass. Is it possible to "Darken" the blue instead of using the typical tints that are very common out there? Most of the tints I've seen have that greyish-black hue @35%-50% around here in New Jersey.
Does anyone know whether there is such a thing as Blue tints?
thanks

from what I've heard, the blue factory tint is not actually tint film, but somethin inside the glass, kinda like blue glass...not the typical film that's on aftermarket tints...so it may be difficult to duplicate or improve upon w/o compromising the "quality look"...

my clk430 does came with tint already installed, but the clk430 has blue glass like the C55 stock. somehow the tint on my C55 is just black and u cant see the blue anymore. but somehow the CLK430 has tint and it is blue! you can see the car comming down the road when the sun is out and the windows are blue yet still tinted. i cant help you out what kinda tint or how it was done since it was like that when i bought it, but i guess it can be done.

I also like the blue tint and didn't want to lose the color, but living in Phoenix, AZ I had to tint the windows to knock down some of the summer heat. I had my windows tinted with huper optik drei tint and after having it done I noticed the windows still give off the original blue tint but darker and more reflective. The tint itself is grayish but it is also not dark as in limo, I believe it is about 30 - 35%, which allows for the blue to come through. The nice thing about it though is that it blocks out some ridiculous amount of heat, something like 98%, without being dead black. Anyways, couldn't be more happy with it and the fact that my windows still show off the blue AMG glass look. Good luck

Uhh i think the previous posts just mentioned that there is no "blue tint", it's the actual glass that gives off the blue color, and that tinting that glass gives it a deeper blue.
