Local shop quoted $449 over the phone for Pinnacle. When I got there the owner said they'd cut me a deal and do it for $399. I offered $350 and they rejected. They were such nice folks, though, that I made an appt to do it for $399. Got to keep the locals making money or everything falls apart.

Just today I went with F1 ceramic 35% all around on my Arctic White and it looks great. I didn't want too dark either, but I also didn't want a noticeable difference between front and rear. This seems to be a good compromise. I toyed with going 15% on the back glass but decided against it. Cops, stay away please.

MB's windshields have really good UV ray blocking. I wouldn't recommend tinting it unless you are a really cool person and really like to add extra bling.

Interesting. I've never heard that before. Never had issues either.

I was thinking to get my car tinted, just wondering if anyone could help me in terms of options for tints. Is there any other option other than "film" tints? I hate the idea of having bubbles popping up on my car in 3 or 4 years. Any input would be appreciated.

Hi everyone
I'm thinking of getting my 2008 C300 tinted tomorrow. I'm from Ontario, and above all, though I prefer aesthetic appeal, I also value safety (having been in a car crash before - total loss) and know how important it is to not have your insurance void.
The place I'm thinking of tinting at has F1 Pinnacle Ceramics at 15 and 30% - and though my ideal was 35/15 looking at the pictures... I've decided to go for front-30 and rear-15. Of course, the rear window would be tinted as well.
I have a question about tinting the windshield. I would like to tint it so people can't just look into my car and see all my belongings very easily, but I know how important visibility is.
I'm considering a 50% tint, but I also read that MB windshield's reflect UV rays quite well themselves already, so I might leave it alone, favoring safety over utility/visual appeal/enhanced privacy.
Please let me know soon! Thanks!
