2008 Obsidian Black C63
Should I tint side blinkers / back lights?

I have been toying with the idea.

Do you guys think it looks better? My C63 is Obsidian Black and has a 15% window tint.

Also, to the guys that did it. Did you have a shop do the tint or did you order it from ebay and have them do it?

Have a body shop tint your tail light.

Does your car have this? If so, do you mind posting some bigger pictures?

I know it's not a C class, but here's my CL that I did (side markers, tails, and signals in the mirrors)...I posted a how-to thread here: https://mbworld.org/forums/detailing...t-tinting.html All total I think this "mod" cost me around $50-$60... I masked off the white in the tails for the first couple coats, too so they'd still show differently. Also...these still show plenty of light through in the day, and still reflect red!
