clk tinting
For those of you who tinted their windows, was it difficult or just like any other car? I plan on picking up the car tomorrow and the first thing I'd like to do is go straight to the tint shop. By the way, does anyone know of any good tint shops in so cal? Thanks.

tint
i believe the avantgarde series comes with blue tint, mine does. If you are talking about aftermarket, have no experience as i have issue driving with too dark a shade.

I tinted all 5 windows and it really looks good! I need to post some pictures soon. The cost was $190 and they did a great job. Definitely look for a good place in your area. I tinted the back windows 17% and the driver and passenger window 43%. Illegal in CA, but it looks nice.

I had mine done with 5% all around. The guy that tinted my windows for me said the the back windows were a little pain for him but all in all they came out good.

Line across windscreen
it is a single piece that goes onto your windscreen or made up of 2 pieces?. I have seen some cars, due to the curvature of the windscreen, it has to be done with 2 pieces. The line across the windscreen is aweful.

Mine is one piece, all of my cars that I have ever had have been done in one piece. You get what you pay for if you go cheap then you go ugly. $220 for tinting my windows is a good price with a life time warranty.

Spray on window Tint
Have Y'all tried the new spray on window tint? I hear with spray on window tint you don't have that 1/8 of an inch gap at the edge of the window. Have you heard anything positive or negative about it? I am supposed to pick up my car this weekend and plan to window tint and apply the 3m protective surface.

I just had my windows done all around...
Went with 20% light reflective (looks SO COOL in the sun). They used 2 pieces but they're one of the best in STL. I will add some pics tomorrow (when it's light outside....
