Normal tint v. reflective.
When I picked up my wife's C32 it had normal dark tint. My wife and I have always used reflective tint. I like them both, but check out the difference:

2002 C32
Wow, beautiful car, sleestack. I've done a search on the SSR Gt3 wheels you have on your car, and I've read that there are problems with fitment on the C32. Have you experienced any problems? Were they a direct bolt on or did you need spacers? Could you please provide the offsets of the wheels?
thanks,
Jon L.
thanks,
Jon L.
did you re-tint the car? + what % is on the non reflective.

Jon:
I don't know the offset of the wheels. 3mm spacers are required and included to clear the calipers. Evosport also rolled the fenders. They ride great. Completely smooth with no rubbing.

Yes, I got rid of the limo tint and replaced it with 35% reflective. I'm not sure of the % of the limo tint. It was very dark.

There is also this new kind of tint that I saw at SEMA last year. When you look at the window from an angle, you can see through it. But if you look straight through (such as standing next to the doors trying to see inside the interior), it turned solid silver and you could not see in at all (not even a little bit like limo tint). It was clear from the inside, so it didn't hinder driving. Weird stuff.

I had 15% reflective on my old 03 CLK 320 which was silver. I have 15% normal tint on my C32 which is black. The reflective just doesn't look good on dark colors. The lighther colors, reflective is the way to go.

I'm sorry, but no. I should have taken a pic of the info on it. I should have known I wouldn't remember it. I meant to go back to the car and take more pics of it at different angles, but I didn't make it. There were so many people around, I was lucky to get that one pic. I'll see if I can find something on it.

This is the e-mail response I got today:
Hello Micah. This is not an automotive product. It was installed on a vehicle at SEMA to grab attention. It is not available through any retail outlets. Regards, xxx xxxxxxx
